The recently released trailer for ‘War 2’, starring Hrithik Roshan opposite Jr NTR, has set social media ablaze. Fans applauded the film’s high-octane action and star power, calling it a “tandav” rather than a mere teaser. One user declared, “Better than the teaser. Hrithik Aura. Has no match,” while another exclaimed, “Wildfire—can’t get any bigger than this, boss.” Many hailed it as “one of the best trailers ever seen in the YRF universe.”
However, alongside the cheers came sharp critiques of the film’s visual effects. “Such tacky VFX for a movie with action set pieces and a skyrocketing budget,” complained one viewer. Another echoed, “Everything looks great except the VFX.” The mixed reactions underscore high expectations—both for jaw-dropping stunts and seamless post-production.
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, best known for his romantic dramas, ‘War 2’ marks the first collaboration between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in a Hindi-language film. Following the May teaser, Jr NTR teased fans again on social media: “Double the fire. Double the fury. Pick your side. #War2Teaser out NOW. #War2 only in theatres from August 14.” The film, set to release on the eve of Independence Day, will hit screens in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, promising a pan-Indian Bollywood spectacle.
