Mumbai: Ayan Mukerji-directed ‘War 2’, starring , Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, is one of the most-awaited films of the year.
Sharing his experience of making the film with two of the biggest superstars in the country, Ayan said it was a huge responsibility.
“It is a huge responsibility to take forward a hugely loved franchise like War and leave your own mark on it. I saw directing War 2 as a relishing opportunity to give a hat-tip to the first film. You can’t have fun otherwise while coming on board such a huge blockbuster franchise. One has to take what has been set and then make the fans of the film and the fans of these gigantic superstars of our country go on a journey that is new, that hopefully leaves them hungry for more. As a director, I have to be honest, I immersed myself into delivering this feeling,” Ayan shared.
“Everything about War 2 has been crafted with a lot of planning to elevate the theatrical experience of the audience. The maximum time spent was on the action set pieces and crafting the storyline and the conflict which was needed to mount the face-off between Hrithik Roshan and NTR,” Ayan added.
“War 2 is truly the coming together of Indian cinema with these two huge actors joining forces. We were aware of the expectations this pairing would set in the minds of their fans and the audience and every second was spent thinking of how to give them an experience of a lifetime when they sit in the theatres,” he concluded.
‘War 2’, which also stars Kiara Advani, will hit theatres on August 14.
