War 2 Becomes Longest YRF Spy Universe Film: Hrithik-NTR Action Showdown to Last Over 3 Hours

The YRF Spy Universe has once again stirred excitement with the upcoming release of War 2, which is shaping up to be its most ambitious project yet. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner, War 2 stars Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan and Telugu superstar Jr NTR in lead roles, with Kiara Advani playing a key part. Slated for a grand release on 14 August 2025 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, the film recently made waves with the release of its high-octane trailer on July 25.

While fans are already buzzing with anticipation, a new detail has added fuel to the fire—the runtime of War 2. According to reports, the film clocks in at a whopping 3 hours and 10 minutes, making it the longest film in the YRF Spy Universe. To put this in perspective, Pathaan was 2 hours 26 minutes, War (2019) was 2 hours 34 minutes, Tiger Zinda Hai ran for 2 hours 41 minutes, and Tiger 3 was 2 hours 36 minutes long. With this extended runtime, War 2 aims to deliver a cinematic experience packed with intense drama, large-scale action, and powerful performances.

Ayan Mukerji, known for youthful hits like Wake Up Sid, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and the visual extravaganza Brahmastra, is stepping into the action-thriller genre for the first time. His entry into the YRF Spy Universe brings fresh vision and scale, and the extended duration reflects the film's layered storytelling, elaborate action choreography, and emotionally charged confrontations—particularly the much-hyped clash between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR.

Reportedly, War 2 will not only feature explosive combat scenes but also a special dance face-off between the two superstars, further heightening fan expectations. The film is also poised to lay the groundwork for future installments in the spy universe, setting the stage for larger crossovers and deeper narratives.

With its record-breaking runtime, stellar cast, and massive production scale, War 2 is not just another spy thriller—it’s a high-stakes cinematic event that could redefine action in Indian cinema. As the countdown to Independence Day weekend begins, all eyes are now on whether Hrithik and NTR’s epic showdown can deliver the thrill fans have been promised.
