When Will War 2 Release on OTT?
Industry insiders hint that War 2 could start streaming on Netflix from October 9, 2025, in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and other dubbed languages.
However, YRF or Netflix hasn’t made an official announcement yet. If true, the early OTT arrival — less than two months after its theatrical release — could help the film find a “second life” on digital platforms, especially for audiences who missed it in cinemas.

War 2: A New Chapter in YRF’s Spy Universe
After the massive success of films like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, Pathaan, and War (2019), YRF expanded its ambitious Spy Universe with War 2. This installment introduces a fresh storyline where: Kabir (Hrithik Roshan), a former R&AW agent, goes rogue and works as a contract killer for an international cartel called Kali. Vikram Chalapathi (Jr NTR), another top R&AW agent, is assigned to stop him.
The plot thickens with Wing Commander Kavya Luthra (Kiara Advani) and other key characters, played by Ashutosh Rana, Anil Kapoor, and Arista Mehta. The film combines intense action, espionage, betrayal, and patriotism, making it a must-watch for fans of the spy-action genre.
