War 2 will be directed by Ayan Mukerji, and Brahmastra parts 2 and 3 have been postponed. “More time is needed to polish their script.”

According to a Variety rumour, Ayan Mukerji will helm War 2 with Hrithik Roshan. The director also posted updates on social media regarding Brahmastra sequels. Ayan Mukerji is all set to direct Hrithik Roshan’s War 2 as the sequels of Brahmastra have been delayed as their script needs more work. The filmmaker took to Instagram to talk about helming a ‘special movie’ but didn’t name the film. However, Variety reported that Ayan will be at the helm of War 2 and will direct the next iteration of the Yash Raj spy universe starring Hrithik Roshan. The director wrote in his post, “I also have another piece of news to share…. The Universe has presented me with a very special opportunity recently a very special movie – to step into and direct! What the movie is… More on that when the time is right :) An opportunity that challenges me and terribly excites me… one where I will learn, be inspired and where I will grow! So, I have decided to take it up!!” Variety quoted a source, who said, “Aditya Chopra is choosing the captain of the ship for each YRF spy universe film strategically. Ayan has delivered big hits which appeals to all audience segments and has the pulse of Indian audiences. He has shown that he knows how to mount a film with a huge scale, which is essential for someone to direct ‘War 2.’ Plus, he is a young filmmaker who can bring a different kind of newness to the spy universe. Ayan will have his unique take on how to make an epic action spectacle with ‘War 2.’ Aditya Chopra trusts him to take the franchise forward.”
