War 2: Kiara Advani Wields A Gun In Fierce New Look, Fans Call Her ‘Boss Lady’
Anticipation is building for War 2, the next high-octane installment in Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe. While the film promises a gripping showdown between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, all eyes are now also on Kiara Advani. After drawing attention with her bikini-clad appearance in the teaser, Kiara has now unveiled a fierce and action-packed new look that’s flipping the narrative around her role.
Kiara Advani’s Bold Action Look Breaks the Glam Doll Stereotype
Last month, when the teaser of War 2 dropped, Kiara proudly mentioned that the film featured her first on-screen bikini moment. However, the internet quickly called out the Spy Universe’s tendency to stereotype its female leads—from Deepika Padukone in Pathaan to Vaani Kapoor in War—as merely glamorous sidekicks.
Now, Kiara is out to challenge that perception.
On Thursday, she took to Instagram to share a powerful new poster of her character in War 2. Dressed in an all-black ensemble with a long trench coat, leather pants, boots, and a handgun in hand, she looked ready for battle.
"#50DaysToWar2 The countdown begins💥🔥. Releasing in Hindi, Telugu & Tamil on August 14th in cinemas worldwide," she wrote in the caption.
Fans Applaud Kiara’s Transformation
This reveal marked the first full-fledged action look of Kiara from the film. While the teaser mainly spotlighted the male leads—Hrithik Roshan as superspy Kabir and Jr NTR as his mysterious rival—it only briefly showed Kiara in a green bikini.
But her new avatar changed the tone. Fans flooded the comments section with praise.
One user wrote, "Just bring it on as I can't wait anymore." Another added, "Can't wait to see you Ki. My excitement level is just beyond to see you. What a look!" A third comment read, "Boss lady is going to slay."
Many expressed excitement at seeing Kiara step into a gritty, action-packed role—a first in her career.
War 2: Hrithik Roshan vs Jr NTR in a Spy Universe Showdown
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War and continues the saga of YRF’s expanding Spy Universe, which already includes hits like Pathaan and the Tiger franchise.
Hrithik Roshan returns as Kabir, the slick and deadly intelligence officer, while Jr NTR makes his debut in the universe as a rival spy with his own dangerous agenda. With its release set for August 14, just ahead of Independence Day, the film is expected to deliver an epic cinematic spectacle across Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil audiences.
