The excitement surrounding ‘War 2’, the much-awaited action thriller starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, continues to build as fresh updates about the film’s certification and runtime surface. With fans eagerly counting down to its theatrical release, the film has now entered a key phase in its pre-release journey — clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
According to industry insiders, Yash Raj Films, the production house behind the adrenaline-charged sequel, has submitted the film to the CBFC and is seeking a U/A certificate — a category that allows unrestricted public exhibition but advises parental guidance for viewers under 12. The certification is expected to be granted soon, with no major objections or cuts anticipated from the Board.
This development has further stoked interest among moviegoers, especially considering the high-octane nature of the YRF Spy Universe, which ‘War 2’ is a part of. The decision to go for a U/A rating suggests that while the film will feature intense action sequences, slick chases, and explosive stunts, the content will remain accessible to a broader age demographic — likely a strategic move aimed at maximizing box office reach.
Another major update comes in the form of the film’s runtime. As per the current edit submitted to the Board, ‘War 2’ clocks in at approximately 2 hours and 36 minutes. This places it comfortably in the typical runtime range for commercial Indian action thrillers. Sources close to the production hint that the film’s pacing is tight and gripping, with minimal slowdowns — something that aligns well with director Ayan Mukerji’s vision for an edge-of-the-seat cinematic experience.
With Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as super-spy Kabir and Telugu superstar Jr NTR joining the cast in a never-before-seen avatar, ‘War 2’ promises to be a visual spectacle. The two powerhouse performers are expected to clash on screen in what’s being described as a “battle of ideologies and skill,” supported by a storyline that travels across continents and plunges deep into the global espionage web introduced in earlier YRF spy films like Pathaan and Tiger 3.
While fans have been treated to tantalizing teasers and leaked on-set glimpses, the official trailer is yet to drop. However, now that the film is in the final stages of certification, sources suggest the makers are preparing for a massive promotional blitz in the coming weeks.
‘War 2’ is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of the year, not just because of its star-studded cast, but also due to its role in expanding the shared spy universe that YRF has been building over the past few years. With War (2019) already having left a strong legacy, expectations are sky-high for this second installment.
Fans can expect an electrifying blend of action, emotion, and international intrigue — all wrapped into a runtime that promises to keep them hooked from start to finish.
