The sixth instalment in the YRF Spy Universe and a sequel to War (2019), the film stars Hrithik Roshan reprising his role from the predecessor alongside N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Kiara Advani. The soundtrack was composed by Pritam, which feature two songs written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Sanchit Balhara and Ankit Balhara composed the film score.
Development
[edit]In March 2024, it was announced that Pritam would compose the soundtrack for War 2, marking his second film in the YRF Spy Universe following Tiger 3 (2023).[1] It also marked his second collaboration with Hrithik Roshan after Dhoom 2 (2006) and third with Mukerji after Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) and Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva (2022). Sanchit Balhara and Ankit Balhara were retained to compose the film score, marking their second collaboration with Pritam after Kalank (2019), and third film in the universe after War (2019) and Pathaan (2023).
The first single "Aavan Jaavan" choreographed by Bosco Martis featuring Roshan and Advani,[2] was shot in September 2024 in Italy's Venice, Lake Como, Naples, Tuscany, Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast.[3][4]
A dance sequence featuring Roshan and Rao, also choreographed by Martis, was scheduled to be filmed in March 2025 featuring more than 500 background dancers;[5][6] however, it was delayed after Roshan sustained a leg injury during the rehearsals.[7] It was later filmed in the first week of July 2025 in Mumbai.[8]
