Ayan Mukerji Shifts Gears

Director Ayan Mukerji, best known for his work on romantic and fantasy films such as Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmāstra, takes on a radically different genre with War 2. His entry into the action-spy thriller realm marks a bold new chapter in his filmmaking journey.

Kiara Advani’s Mysterious Character Sparks Fan Theories

One of the biggest talking points following the trailer release is Kiara Advani’s role. A keen-eyed fan zoomed in on a frame from the trailer, revealing a name tag reading “Kavya Luthra,” leading to speculation that her character may be the daughter of Colonel Sunil Luthra, a recurring figure in the YRF Spy Universe.

Colonel Luthra, portrayed as the Joint Secretary of RAW, has appeared in both War and Pathaan. This potential familial connection has fueled theories that Kavya may be entering the world of espionage for personal reasons.

Netizens Piece Together Possible Plotlines

Fans on X (formerly Twitter) have been actively dissecting frames from the trailer, speculating on character arcs and connections. “So she’s the daughter of Colonel Luthra, now it makes sense!” commented one.
