Ayan Mukerji Reunites 'Kesariya' Team for War 2’s First Song Featuring Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani
Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji's upcoming action spectacle War 2 continues to create waves among Bollywood fans. As excitement builds ahead of its August 14, 2025 release, a major update has taken the buzz a notch higher: the musical dream team behind Brahmastra's chartbuster "Kesariya" is back—this time for a romantic track featuring lead pair Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani.
‘Kesariya’ Trio Returns for War 2’s First Song
Sources close to the production have confirmed that composer Pritam, singer Arijit Singh, and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya—the trio responsible for the viral success of "Kesariya" in Brahmastra—have joined forces again. The new track, yet to be titled, will be the first song released from War 2 and is expected to hit streaming platforms this week.
A source from the production revealed,
“It is a beautiful track that shows the romance between Hrithik and Kiara’s character in War 2. The track will drop this week and will be the first song of War 2 to drop for people to watch.”
Although Yash Raj Films has not officially announced a date, the anticipation is already surging among fans who were captivated by the music and emotional tone of "Kesariya" in 2022.
Romance Meets Action in a Musical High
While War 2 is expected to deliver the high-octane action and espionage thrillers that fans of the YRF Spy Universe have come to expect, the addition of a romantic song featuring Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani adds emotional depth to the narrative. Kiara, who joins the franchise for the first time, is paired opposite Hrithik's character Kabir, offering audiences a fresh and vibrant on-screen pairing.
Pritam’s melodic composition, paired with Arijit’s voice and Amitabh’s lyrical flair, is anticipated to bring a soulful counterpoint to the otherwise intense storyline.
A Technological Milestone: First Indian Film in Dolby Cinema
Another significant achievement for War 2 lies in its technological innovation. The film will be the first Indian movie ever to release in Dolby Cinema, marking a landmark moment for Indian cinema on the global stage.
Rohan Malhotra, Vice President of Distribution at Yash Raj Films, shared his thoughts on the move:
“YRF has always believed in pushing boundaries to deliver the most enriching cinematic experiences to its audiences. From embracing Dolby Audio in the 90s to pioneering Dolby Atmos in our blockbusters – and now, leading the way with Dolby Cinema, we remain committed to storytelling that doesn’t just entertain, but transports you into the story.”
He further added:
“With War 2, we’re excited to bring audiences into a new era of movie experience—one where every scene is more vivid in Dolby Vision, every sound more immersive with Dolby Atmos, and the theatrical experience more unforgettable than ever before at Dolby Cinema.”
Global Dolby Cinema Rollout
War 2 is set for a multilingual global release in Hindi and Telugu. The film will open at Dolby Cinema sites not only in India but also in North America, the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other international territories. This strategic move reflects YRF’s ambition to position the film as a global cinematic event.
Jr NTR’s Bollywood Debut Raises Stakes
War 2 is also significant for introducing Telugu superstar Jr NTR—known for his award-winning performance in RRR—to Bollywood audiences. His entry into the YRF Spy Universe adds an exciting new dimension to the franchise and expands its pan-India appeal.
His character details remain under wraps, but speculation is rife that he may play either an antagonist or a parallel lead, promising a powerful face-off with Hrithik Roshan on the big screen.
What to Expect from War 2
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the sixth installment in the YRF Spy Universe, following the massive successes of Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3. Known for blending high-stakes action with emotionally resonant storytelling, YRF is expected to raise the bar even higher with this sequel.
With a screenplay that spans international locations, adrenaline-pumping stunts, and now a promising musical component, War 2 is being positioned as one of the biggest Indian films of 2025.
Final Thoughts from The Trending People
With Ayan Mukerji reuniting the magical "Kesariya" trio, the buzz around War 2 is reaching new highs. The song promises to add a tender, romantic layer to an otherwise action-packed film, while the debut of Dolby Cinema with an Indian film signals a technological leap for Bollywood. Add to that the star power of Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani, and Jr NTR, and War 2 is shaping up to be a cinematic blockbuster that blends emotion, innovation, and spectacle in equal measure.
