Kiara Advani and Hrithik Roshan are currently in Italy shooting for their much-anticipated film ‘War 2’. The duo is filming a romantic song amidst the stunning backdrops of the coastal nation, sending ripples of excitement through Bollywood fans globally. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the movie has generated massive buzz, evident by the viral pictures circulating on social media that showcase this fresh onscreen pairing for the first time.
The circulating snapshots from the picturesque shoot reveal Kiara Advani dazzling in a mini red dress with her hair flowing freely, playfully holding the hand of Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik, recognized worldwide for his action-packed roles, exudes effortless charm in a casual shirt layered over a t-shirt paired with denim pants. Their visible chemistry in these pictures promises a dazzling onscreen partnership, making their pairing highly awaited.
‘War 2’ officially began shooting in October 2023. This sequel follows the successful 2019 film ‘War’, which featured a high-octane narrative starring Tiger Shroff alongside Hrithik Roshan. However, in ‘War 2’, Hrithik will be seen sharing the screen with Jr NTR, adding another layer of freshness to the series. Notably, this project will mark Jr NTR’s debut in the Bollywood industry, adding to the anticipation.
A few weeks ago, it was reported that the ‘War 2’ team would head to Italy for the romantic track shoot. Enthusiastic fans might recall that the earlier film’s hit song ‘Ghungroo’ was filmed on the scenic beaches of Positano, along Italy’s Amalfi Coast. This time around, director Ayan Mukerji and producer Aditya Chopra have gone through extensive efforts to identify and showcase unexplored locales. While Venice and Lake Como remain classic choices, the team has also discovered fresh locations in these regions, promising to introduce breathtaking new vistas to audiences.
A source close to the film’s production revealed, “The Italy shooting schedule kicked off on September 18 and will stretch over approximately 15 days.
. Ayan has dedicated the first six days exclusively for this song shoot. Given that Hrithik and Kiara are currently among the most glamorous stars in Bollywood, he aims to produce a video that lives up to their star power.”
The romantic song, masterfully composed by Pritam, is said to be presented on an opulent scale. The chosen locales include the exotic charms of Venice, Tuscany, Lake Como, Naples, the Amalfi Coast, and the Sorrento Peninsula. Following the song sequence, the production will tackle a high-octane action sequence along with some intense dramatic scenes before the crew heads back to India by early October.
Scheduled for an August 14 release next year, ‘War 2’ will advance the storyline of Hrithik’s character, Kabir Dhaliwal – an R&AW agent who had gone rogue. The narrative is expected to delve deeper into his complex character and tumultuous journey. Post-Italy, the director has plans for two more shooting schedules: one set internationally and another stationed in Mumbai, with the aim of wrapping up production by early next year.
The current buzz and social media fervor surrounding the shooting visuals have only heightened the anticipation for ‘War 2’. This sequel, packed with high-energy action, dramatic arcs, and now a richly amplified romantic track, is set to uphold the legacy of its predecessor while exploring uncharted territories in its storytelling.
In sum, Kiara Advani and Hrithik Roshan’s Italian rendezvous for ‘War 2’ has amplified fan interest worldwide. With a meticulously crafted romantic track set against the idyllic Italian landscape, under the expert direction of Ayan Mukerji, the film steps closer to being one of Bollywood’s marquee releases next year. This promising fresh decade for ‘War’ series enthusiasts paves the way for an exhilarating cinematic experience that transcends borders and showcases the glamour of Bollywood.
Stay tuned as more glimpses and updates surface from the sets of ‘War 2’, keeping the excitement and anticipation alive for this highly awaited sequel.
