Ayan Mukerji concluded the first schedule of “War 2” even in the absence of Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. Here is how he did it ?

Ayan Mukerji has successfully completed the initial schedule for “War 2” without the presence of lead actors Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, and the production employed an innovative technique for filming.

According to a source close to Bollywood Hungama, many contemporary films shoot action sequences without the involvement of the main actors. Subsequently, they use body swap technology to replace the faces of the stunt doubles. This same approach was also used for “Pathaan,” particularly for action sequences shot in Dubai and Russia. Hrithik and NTR Jr. are expected to begin shooting for “War 2” in December.

The Spain schedule lasted for approximately 12 days, and Ayan Mukerji was stringent in selecting the right stunt double for the film. The source mentioned that he conducted auditions for more than 50 individuals for both Hrithik and NTR Jr. to find the ideal body types. The chosen stunt doubles underwent multiple test shoots with Hrithik and NTR Jr. in Mumbai and Hyderabad before heading to Spain for the filming.

Ayan Mukerji plans to wrap up another action sequence before moving on to the conversational segments involving the lead actors. The film also features Kiara Advani, though there has been no official announcement regarding her involvement in the project.
