War 2 completes a big chase sequence with Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s body doubles. Director Ayan Mukerji has finished the first schedule of ‘War 2’ in Spain, which involved action sequences with Hrithik Roshan and NTR, but with a twist: body doubles acted in place of the lead actors. The world of feature films is celebrating this new technique, in which action scenes are filmed without the main cast and then enhancing the actual scenes using technology.
During a period of about two weeks, Ayan Mukerji choreographed some of the most extensive chase sequences in Indian cinema, while Hrithik Roshan and NTR were busy with their respective projects in Mumbai and Hyderabad. The aim is to capture these high-octane action sequences with body doubles first, and then digitally swap their faces with those of the lead actors, using advanced body swap technology.
While in Spain, Ayan carefully chose the perfect body doubles for both Hrithik and NTR, conducting auditions with over 50 talents to ensure they were a perfect match. Before going to Spain, the stunt doubles that were selected underwent multiple test shoots with the lead actors in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
The Spain schedule, which lasted approximately 12 days, concentrated mainly on the action sequences. The film’s team will then focus on the conversational and dramatic portions, with Kiara Advani also joining the cast. The Republic Day 2025 weekend is expected to see the release of ‘War 2’ on cinema screens.
Both the Heroes are expected to join the shoot from this December and the unit’s plan is to complete the entire shoot by 2024 Mid and to release the film, War 2 in 2025 January as said above.
