In his first official statement since the teaser release, Ayan Mukerji expressed deep gratitude and excitement. Sharing his thoughts on Instagram, the director highlighted that War 2 is more than just a visual treat—it’s a film anchored by a surprisingly emotional and layered narrative.
“The core of this movie is a very powerful and dramatic story,” he wrote. “It really surprised me the first time I heard its script and has been extremely exciting (and challenging) for me to bring to life.”

Kiara Advani, described by Mukerji as “a ray of sunshine,” plays a pivotal role in the story.
He particularly emphasized the synergy between Roshan and NTR, calling them “once-in-a-lifetime giants” whose performances bring both mega movie-star energy and emotional depth.
“I cannot wait for our audiences to experience the magical work that these two giants have created,” Mukerji shared.
