Mumbai, June 20 (UNI) Director Ayan Mukerji has revealed that the most meticulous and time-consuming aspect of his upcoming film ‘War 2’ was constructing the storyline of the epic showdown between Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR.
Produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Ayan Mukerji, ‘War 2’ marks the sixth chapter of the ambitious and the commercially triumphant YRF spy universe.

You can’t have fun otherwise while coming on board such a huge blockbuster franchise.”
Mukerji emphasised that the heart of War 2 lies in the intense conflict between the two protagonists, played by Roshan and NTR. “Everything about War 2 has been crafted with a lot of planning to elevate the theatrical experience of the audience,” he explained. “The maximum time was spent on the action set pieces and crafting the storyline and the conflict which was needed to mount the face-off between Hrithik Roshan and NTR.”
