War 2 Trailer: Alia Bhatt's cryptic post hyping the movie is the ultimate Alpha hint?

The trailer of War 2, released on July 25, has quickly grabbed attention across social media. Now, Alia Bhatt has added to the buzz with a cheerful nod to the upcoming film. Sharing the trailer on her Instagram Stories, she wrote “Mazedaaaaaaaaaar” and added, “See you on the 14th in a cinema near meee,” making her excitement pretty clear.

The sequel to the 2019 hit War is directed by Ayan Mukerji and features Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in lead roles. Kiara Advani has joined the franchise as the new female lead. The film is set for a grand release on August 14, ahead of Independence Day, and will hit theatres in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Alia’s post did more than just show support. She also tagged Hrithik, Jr NTR, Kiara, and Ayan in her story, fuelling speculation about her connection to the YRF Spy Universe. Fans have been guessing whether she might appear in War 2, even briefly, to bridge it to her upcoming spy thriller Alpha, where she stars alongside Sharvari Wagh.

The War 2 trailer reveals a high-stakes face-off between Hrithik and Jr NTR. Both actors are shown performing intense stunts and action sequences. The trailer hints at a plot filled with betrayal, global conflict, and shifting loyalties. Its tone and style align with the larger-than-life feel of other films in the YRF Spy Universe, like Pathaan and Tiger 3.

There’s buzz that Hrithik and Jr NTR will promote the film separately. Still, Alia’s enthusiastic post has added fresh energy to the film’s online conversation. Even if she doesn’t appear in the film, her involvement through Alpha and support for War 2 have become part of the narrative.

With just weeks left for release, the trailer and Alia’s post have only intensified curiosity. Whether her appearance in the YRF universe comes now or later, one thing is clear — War 2 is already one of the most anticipated action thrillers of the year.
