Ayan Mukerji has finally addressed the rumors that he will be directing War 2, which will star Hrithik Roshan in the lead role. The spy universe that YRF developed is where the movie is set.
Ayan Mukerji, who just won Best Director at the News18 Showsha REEL Awards 2023 for his mammoth film Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, addressed rumors that he might helm War 2 for the Yash Raj Studios “Spy Universe.”
“Ayan is a pure Dharma boy. He has only been employed as a filmmaker thus far by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Regarding Ayan directing a Yash Raj production, the fact that Ayan has Brahmastra 2 and 3 to direct for him, Karan offered to hire Ayan’s directing skills for War 2, claims a source with firsthand knowledge of the issue.
Brahmastra 2 and 3 will be directed by Ayan originally for Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. He will also assist with the pre-production of War 2. Once he has finished directing Brahmastra, he won’t begin working on War 2.
War 2, on the other hand, starring Hrithik Roshan. The actor will reprise his performance as Kabir, who was introduced in the 2019 film War. The second “spy” that YRF had developed was featured in the first film in the series, which was directed by Siddharth Anand and helped to establish the espionage universe. Salman Khan’s portrayal of Tiger was already in the scene. The movie’s plot should be connected to Tiger 3.
Ayan was trusted by YRF CEO Aditya Chopra to promote the franchise, a source told Variety earlier in the day. In the YRF espionage universe, Aditya Chopra specifically chooses the ship’s commander for each film. Ayan has created blockbuster hits that are popular with audiences in India and across all age groups. A director of “War 2” needs to be able to produce a large-scale production, and he has proven that. Also, he is a young director who may give the spy genre a special kind of freshness. Ayan will provide his unique perspective on how to make a massive action spectacle with “War 2.” Aditya Chopra has faith in him to advance the franchise.
