Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR to Avoid Joint Promotions for War 2 Produced by Yash Raj Films , War 2 is a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War. It also continues the interlinked narrative of YRF's Spy Universe, which includes hits like Pathaan and Tiger 3. The screenplay is written by Shridhar Raghavan, with dialogues by Abbas Tyrewala. With a high-octane storyline and massive stakes involved, War 2 could prove to be a defining moment for Telugu distribution, especially if Naga Vamsi's big gamble pays off. While the producer hasn't officially confirmed the Rs 80 crore deal figure, industry sources suggest it marks one of the most expensive Telugu rights acquisitions for a Bollywood film.
