Today, May 23, Ayan Mukerji took to Instagram and shared behind-the-scenes pictures with Jr. NTR, Kiara Advani, and Hrithik Roshan from the sets of War 2. In the caption, he expressed his excitement and said that he felt it was the right time to share his thoughts.

The filmmaker shared that while War 2 had a lot to offer audiences in terms of big-screen spectacle and energy, what he really wanted to highlight was what inspired him the most about the film. “That the Core of this movie is a very powerful and dramatic story—which really surprised me the first time I heard its script and has been extremely exciting (and challenging) for me to bring to life!” he stated.

Ayan continued, “And so, as we receive all this love and conversation for our first look of the film, I am longing for everyone to experience the actual journey of this movie’s story - which I believe to be a new and deeper dive into the spy universe genre!”
