Meanwhile, a 15-day schedule will be shot in Italy with the other two principal actors of the film - Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. According to the Dainik Bhaskar article, a song will be shot with the two actors in the European country in September.

War 2 is produced by Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films and is directed by Ayan Mukerji. The first part had Hrithik Roshan facing off against Tiger Shroff. Vaani Kapoor also featured in the action entertainer.

Last week, Bollywood Hungama reported that in War 2, Hrithik Roshan will be seen indulging in a sword fight with a menacing villain in a Japanese monastery.
