Watch the action-packed trailer of Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff starrer War here!

The stunning trailer of upcoming Bollywood action flick ‘War’ has just been released. Starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff — two of the best action heroes in Indian cinema, the trailer, as expected, is nothing short of a spectacle. Siddharth Anand is directing the film that promises some riveting action pieces.

From the two-minute long trailer, we can make out that Hrithik’s character Kabir is an ex-commando who has gone rogue. Tiger Shroff plays Khalid, who heads a team to catch Kabir. So it is basically a cat and mouse chase game between these two lead characters. Vaani Kapoor, noted for her roles in movies like ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’ and ‘Befikre’ plays the female lead.

Sidharth Anand has previously directed films like ‘Salaam Namaste’, ‘Ta Ra Rum Pum’, ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ and ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’. He has also worked with Hrithik Roshan in the 2014 action film ‘Bang Bang’, which was the official remake of Tom Cruise’s ‘Knight and Day’. So, the director has already proven his ability to helm action films. Hopefully he can live up to the massive expectations that has risen after the coming together of Hrithik and Tiger.

‘War’ is being made on a massive budget by Yash Raj Films. The movie is scheduled for a grand release on October 2, 2019.

Just like in the previous years, this time also the Onam season promises to offer a mouthwatering clash at the Kerala box office. Already four films are confirmed to hit screens during the festive season with more expected to be added in the coming days. ‘Brother’s Day’, ‘Ittymaani Made In China’ and ‘Love Action Drama’ are the three biggies that have real potential to emerge as the winner.

Though a formal announcement is yet to be made, it is reported that ‘Ittymaani’ will be having a grand release on September 6.

Aishwarya Lekshmi, Madonna Sebastian, Miya George and Prayaga Martin are the female leads while Tamil actor Prasanna will be seen as the villain. From the promos, it looks like ‘Brother’s Day’ will be a real crowd pleaser. It looks exactly like the kind of entertainer films that a commoner would love to watch.

Besides these films, Rajisha Vijayan’s sports drama ‘Finals’ and Dhanush starrer ‘Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta’ will also be competing at the Onam box office. Both the flicks are confirmed to hit screens on September 6. So, it is certain that we, the audience, are in for a real treat at the cinema halls next month.
