The highly anticipated song "Aavan Jaavan" from the upcoming action thriller War 2 has been released, showcasing the sizzling chemistry between Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. The song dropped on July 31, 2025, coinciding with Kiara Advani's birthday, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans.
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, is the sixth installment in the YRF Spy Universe and a sequel to the 2019 film War. The film stars Hrithik Roshan, N. T. Rama Rao Jr., and Kiara Advani in lead roles, alongside Ashutosh Rana and Anil Kapoor.
"Aavan Jaavan" marks the first on-screen collaboration between Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani, creating a buzz among fans eager to witness their fresh pairing. The song is composed by Pritam, with vocals by Arijit Singh and Nikhita Gandhi, and lyrics penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. The same core creative team was behind "Kesariya," the hit song from Brahmastra, also directed by Ayan Mukerji.
The song is set against the picturesque backdrop of Italy, featuring Hrithik and Kiara in coordinated white outfits amidst scenic European landscapes. The visuals exude elegance and romantic tension, with the duo dancing through Italy's streets, sharing ice cream, and enjoying the lush scenery.
Kiara Advani's shimmery bikini look in the song has also garnered attention, leaving Hrithik's character smitten. The poolside romance is filled with playful splashes and hugs, adding to the song's romantic vibe.
The release of "Aavan Jaavan" marks the beginning of an intense promotional wave for War 2, which is slated to release worldwide on August 14, 2025, coinciding with the Indian Independence Day weekend. The film will be released in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, and will also be available in IMAX and other premium formats.
While some fans have praised the sizzling chemistry between Hrithik and Kiara and lauded the song as a chartbuster, others have expressed that the chemistry is missing and the song's vibe is not on par with "Ghungroo" from the first War film. Some viewers found Kiara's bikini scene forced and out of place. Overall, the song has received positive reviews, with many praising Arijit Singh's vocals and the beautiful visuals.
War 2 is expected to be a high-octane action thriller with a gripping storyline. The film's plot revolves around Agent Kabir (Hrithik Roshan), who has gone rogue and become India's greatest villain. India sends its deadliest agent, Vikram (N. T. Rama Rao Jr.), a Special Units Officer, to stop Kabir. The film is described as a brutal cat-versus-rottweiler game, with the entire world as their battleground.
The film also stars Ashutosh Rana as Colonel Sunil Luthra and Anil Kapoor in key roles. The film is the sixth installment in the YRF Spy Universe, following Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3.
With its star-studded cast, high-octane action sequences, and a romantic track to add emotional depth, War 2 is one of the most anticipated films of 2025.
