War 2 To Star Hrithik Roshan And Jr. NTR; Alia Bhatt In Talks For The Lead Role!

Alia Bhatt's 2022 acting career was a massive success. All four films in which the actor appeared were box office hits. The actor has reportedly been approached to play the lead female role in an upcoming high-budget action film.

Hrithik Roshan's War 2 reportedly has Yash Raj Films head Aditya Chopra casting for a female lead. The producers of YRF's action film franchise are eager to incorporate Alia Bhatt into the spy universe, which already features Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif.

Apparently, Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh are being considered for roles in War 2 by the film's producers, as per reports. “The second part of 'War 2' is going to be even more thrilling than its first part. The pre-production work has begun. The consideration and the zeroing down on the three names that are being considered for the female lead's role has created quite a buzz in the YRF office. It will either be Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt or Sharvari Wagh. A final call is soon going to be taken depending on the date availability of the three ladies,” the report added.
