In a move that perfectly blends two of India’s greatest obsessions—cricket and cinema—YRF’s upcoming mega-blockbuster War 2 is set to unleash 10-second promos during the IPL 2025 finals today. Yes, while RCB battles PBKS for the trophy, fans will get their first official glimpse at Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani in this action-packed sequel. Streaming on JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar, these short but sharp promos are expected to light up screens and social feeds alike.
This isn't just clever marketing—it’s a full-blown spectacle. The IPL finals are the television event in India, pulling in over 200 million viewers annually (according to BARC India), and there’s no better stage for War 2 to drop the mic. Hrithik returns as the brooding super-agent Kabir, Jr NTR makes his highly anticipated Hindi debut, and Kiara Advani adds glam and grit to the expanding YRF Spy Universe, which already boasts box office beasts like Pathaan and Tiger 3.
Set to release on August 14, 2025, War 2 isn’t just a sequel—it’s a major chess piece in YRF’s ambitious spy franchise, which has already raked in over ₹2,500 crore globally. With patriotic themes, globe-trotting action, and a dream cast, it’s the kind of film that demands a grand entrance—and what’s grander than India’s cricketing Super Bowl?
If the teaser drop for Pathaan during IPL 2023 is any indicator—it saw a 30% spike in engagement within hours—War 2 is about to explode across every platform imaginable. So whether you're team RCB, team PBKS, or just team “show me Hrithik in slow-mo,” tonight’s final promises more than just sixes and wickets. It’s also the start of the next big war... at the box office.
