Kiara Advani joins Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in Ayan Mukerji’s actioner War 2

The source added, “Aditya Chopra is going all out to make this film the slickest and the coolest action entertainer that this country has ever seen. It will be really exciting to see Kiara in this universe and how Ayan and Adi present her in War 2. All the heroines of the Spy Universe have left an unforgettable mark on Indian cinema. Now, it is Kiara’s turn and we all know she can make a huge impact on screen with War 2.”

Kiara Advani made her debut in 2014 with Fugly and featured in films like MS Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016) and Abbas-Mustan’s 2017 thriller Machine, but it was the 2018 Netflix anthology Lust Stories that proved to be the turning point in her career.

In her eight-year-long career, Kiara has already delivered seven hits, including her two web shows Guilty and Lust Stories, both produced by Karan Johar. In fact, she is considered to be a lucky charm for filmmakers. During the trailer launch of Jug Jugg Jeeyo, Karan said about Kiara, “She is definitely the lucky mascot that the Dharma Productions has,” while adding, “My journey with her began with Lust (Stories) and then she became an absolute must. Everything we have done with her has been immensely successful.” Even Varun Dhawan, Kiara’s co-actor in Jug Jugg Jeeyo, called her a “lucky charm” on The Kapil Sharma Show.

War 2 is a part of YRF’s ambitious spy universe, which kicked off with Shah Rukh Khan’s global hit Pathaan. The next film in it would be Tiger 3, headlined by Salman Khan. After War 2, the production house will present the audience with the Tiger vs Pathaan film, which would feature the epic clash between Salman’s Tiger and Shah Rukh’s Pathaan.

War was released in 2019 and was a superhit. It starred Tiger Shroff along with Hrithik Roshan and was directed by Siddharth Anand.
