War 2 Runtime Rumors Worry Fans Ahead of August 14 Clash with Coolie
The big box office battle is heating up as August 14, 2025, nears. Two major releases — War 2 and Coolie — are set to clash on the same date, sparking fan excitement and industry buzz. While Coolie, starring a top South Indian mass hero, promises an old-school masala action drama, War 2 is a high-octane spy thriller expanding the YRF Spy Universe.
But amid the hype, War 2 fans are growing anxious over a recent runtime speculation. According to inside sources, the film is expected to run for a massive 3 hours and 5 minutes, making it the longest movie in the YRF Spy Universe to date.
Starring Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Kabir and NTR Jr. making his YRF Universe debut, War 2 is directed by Ayan Mukerji, known for his grand vision and emotional depth. While fans are thrilled about this powerful collaboration, some worry whether such a long runtime might test patience — especially in the action-thriller genre, where pacing is key.
That said, Ayan Mukerji is known for his ability to weave emotion and scale into cinematic spectacle. If War 2 manages to balance gripping action, intense drama, and emotional arcs without lags, the runtime could become a strength rather than a drawback.
With competition from Coolie and sky-high expectations from fans, War 2 has a lot riding on it — both in terms of story and execution.
