During a recent interview, the Vikram Vedha actor revealed details about filming War 2, in which he will co-star with Jr NTR. "No. I can tell you just the fact that we are about to begin. It goes on floor very, very soon, a bit too soon, maybe. I don’t get a breather," he said.

According to Bollywood Hungama, Ayan Mukerji has completed the Spain schedule for his upcoming film War 2, which stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in lead roles. The director used a body double to film a chase scene for the action movie. Because Roshan and Jr NTR were busy, the shot was completed with a body double.

"It's a new technique of shooting for feature films. The action blocks of a lot of films in today's time are shot without the involvement of lead actors. Soon after, the faces of the body double are replaced using the body swap technology. The same was used for Pathaan as well for the action blocks shot in Dubai and Russia. Hrithik and Jr NTR will start shooting for War only in December," a source told the portal.
