In a heartwarming gesture marking the birthday of celebrity stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania, Bollywood icon Hrithik Roshan unveiled an exclusive behind-the-scenes look from the high-octane sequel to his blockbuster film ‘War’. The captivating video, shared as an Instagram story, gave fans a tantalizing sneak peek into the eagerly awaited second installment, ‘War 2’, while simultaneously paying a heartfelt tribute to the stylist who has significantly impacted Roshan’s cinematic journey.
As the world of Bollywood buzzes with anticipation for ‘War 2’, Roshan’s social media post generated considerable excitement. He expressed his gratitude towards Adajania with a touching message, stating, “Happy Birthday to one and only! Thank you for bringing the other me out 🙂 Have a supersonic year ahead! Love.” The video was swiftly seized upon by fans, enhancing the fervor surrounding the film’s release. This display of camaraderie also shed light on the close-knit relationships that often form behind the glitz and glamour of the industry.
The collaboration between Hrithik Roshan and Anaita Shroff Adajania has been transformative since their initial teamwork in ‘Dhoom 2’. Adajania’s influence and visionary approach to styling have played a key role in sculpting some of Roshan’s most iconic on-screen looks across his filmography, including hits like ‘Bang Bang’ and the original ‘War’. She continues to redefine Roshan’s aesthetic appeal, as seen with ‘War 2’, amplifying the characters he portrays to new heights of visual storytelling.
Recently coming off a stellar performance in the Siddharth Anand-directed aerial action drama, ‘Fighter’, Roshan has shown unparalleled dedication in his craft. The film, boasting a star-studded cast including Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Akshay Oberoi, presented Roshan as Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania, Padukone as Squadron Leader Minal Rathore, and Kapoor as Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh. Their depiction as fierce protectors of the nation left an indelible mark on audiences.
Transitioning swiftly from one ambitious project to another, Roshan plunged headlong into preparations for ‘War 2’. He returns to the screen as the compelling Agent Kabir, this time potentially locking horns onscreen with Jr NTR, renowned star of the box office sensation ‘RRR’. Rumors about Jr NTR’s involvement have set the stage for an epic on-screen confrontation, promising to deliver a cinematic experience of mammoth proportions.
A source, while speaking to ANI, revealed enticing details about the project: “Jr NTR is locking horns with Hrithik Roshan in ‘War 2’. It’s going to be epic. Their battle of wits and their fierce showdown will definitely be an action spectacle to remember on the big screen. ‘War’ is now a true-blue pan-Indian film and this astounding collaboration heralds the film’s potential to transcend regional boundaries, thereby amplifying its appeal and by extension, its box office prospects.”
With Jr NTR’s celebrated status in South India, his choice to participate in ‘War 2’ is a testament to the grandeur and depth of the film’s promise, surpassing the original on multiple fronts.
Under the direction of Ayan Mukerji and the auspices of Yash Raj Films, ‘War 2’ is slated for release on August 14, 2025. With such an elaborate union of talent, charm, and cinematic artistry, the film is poised to set a new benchmark in the action genre. As the Indian film industry heads toward an epoch of unprecedented integration and mutual appreciation, ‘War 2’ navigates the future of entertainment, paving the way for more such cross-cultural blockbusters.
