The excitement for "War 2" is reaching fever pitch with the release of a new poster featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in an intense face-off. The poster, which was unveiled to announce the global IMAX release of the spy action thriller, has sent fans into a frenzy.

The poster showcases Hrithik and Jr NTR locked in a fierce gaze, dressed in stylish black outfits and wielding weapons. Hrithik Roshan himself shared the poster, inviting fans to experience the "WAR in full IMAX splendor!". The film is set to release globally on August 14th.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting any glimpse of "War 2," especially after the teaser for the song "Janaab-E-Aali" was released. The full song, featuring a dance-off between Hrithik and Jr NTR, will be exclusively available in cinemas.

"War 2" is directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. The film also stars Kiara Advani in a prominent role. Hrithik Roshan returns as Agent Kabir, reprising his role from the 2019 blockbuster "War". Jr NTR makes his Bollywood debut as the antagonist, an Indian agent named Vikram.

The movie is set against the backdrop of the YRF Spy Universe, and its runtime has been confirmed at 2 hours and 53 minutes, making it the longest film in the franchise. Reportedly, director Ayan Mukerji resisted trimming the film, believing it would compromise the film's structure and reduce the screen time of one of the lead actors.

Advance bookings for "War 2" have already opened in overseas markets and are showing a good response. In the USA, pre-sales for the premiere day are significantly higher than "Tiger 3" at the same point. All-India pre-sales are expected to begin on August 10th, with some theaters potentially opening bookings earlier.

Despite the hype, some observers have noted that the promotions for "War 2" have been somewhat lacking, with some feeling that the marketing relies too heavily on certain clips. However, the team is confident that the film's content will ultimately win over audiences.

"War 2" is set to release in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. The film is expected to have a strong opening, potentially breaking records at the box office.
