However, the tone soon shifts as the conversation takes an intense turn with the arrival of a mysterious new participant—Jr. NTR’s character, identified as "X Master" in the teaser. This thrilling reveal officially welcomes Jr. NTR into the YRF Spy Universe, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his role in War 2.

The film is currently being filmed in Mumbai. According to recent reports, Hrithik Roshan injured his leg while rehearsing a high-energy dance sequence with Jr. NTR. Doctors have recommended a four-week rest, causing a brief delay in filming the song. However, as per sources cited by Bollywood Hungama, this setback will not affect the movie’s planned release date.
