Bollywood star Kiara Advani stuns in a fearless and fiery new avatar
The fresh look of Bollywood actress Kiara Advani from the upcoming film 'War 2' was unveiled on Thursday. The poster shows her in a powerful and fierce action avatar. Holding a gun with an intense, unflinching gaze, Kiara commands attention promising a thrilling, action-packed ride. This marks her second look from the film after a jaw dropping bikini look. In the new poster, she looks strong, powerful, and fiery in the latest poster. This dynamic character first look establishes Kiara as a formidable force in the highly anticipated action-entertainer. The film also stars Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr. 'War 2' marks the second instalment of the 'War' franchise, and belongs to the YRF spy-universe. 'War,' which was released in 2019, told the story of Hrithik's character, who goes rogue to cleanse the intelligence system of the country of traitors and to identify the infiltrator in the elite forces. The film broke all opening day and weekend box-office records for a Hindi film before it was surpassed by the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Pathaan.' It eventually emerged as a major success becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of 2019. Produced by YRF, 'War 2' is set to release in cinemas on August 14. Hrithik also took to Instagram, where he shared the new poster, where he is seen using a weapon against his nemesis. The actor looks slightly bruised as he has some cuts on his eye and forehead showcasing that he engaged in a blood battle. NTR too shared his look, where he looked intense as he wielded a gun and shot bullets at his enemy. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ayan Mukerji, 'War 2' features jaw-dropping action sequences and cutting-edge visuals. Ayan recently shared that he saw directing the upcoming action entertainer ' as an exciting chance to honour the first installment, which was released in 2019, while bringing his own vision to the spy universe. He had said that it is a huge responsibility to take forward a hugely loved franchise like War and leave your own mark on it. 'I saw directing War 2 as a relishing opportunity to give a hat-tip to the first film. You can't have fun otherwise while coming on board such a huge blockbuster franchise,' the actor said. The filmmaker talked about how he focussed on crafting the storyline because he wanted a conflict that was big enough to put two stars Hrithik Roshan against NTR. On the personal front, the actress is expecting her first child with her husband Sidharth Malhotra. The couple announced their pregnancy in February 2025. Kiara and Sid took everyone by surprise as the stars announced that they are expecting their first child together after two years of marriage. Sharing a picture of their palms holding tiny knitted socks, they wrote, 'The greatest gift of our soon (sic)'. The couple tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony in February 2023 after dating for several years. While the two prefer to keep their personal lives lowkey, they make sure to surprise their fans with their occasional PDA on social media. Indo-Asian News Service
