Mumbai, June 20
Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji says he sees directing the upcoming action entertainer “War 2” as an exciting chance to honor the first installment, which was released in 2019, while bringing his own vision to the spy universe.
Ayan said: “It is a huge responsibility to take forward a hugely loved franchise like War and leave your own mark on it. I saw directing War 2 as a relishing opportunity to give a hat-tip to the first film. You can’t have fun otherwise while coming on board such a huge blockbuster franchise.”
The filmmaker talked about how he focussed on crafting the storyline because he wanted a conflict that was big enough to put two stars Hrithik Roshan against NTR.
“One has to take what has been set and then make the fans of the film and the fans of these gigantic superstars of our country go on a journey that is new, that hopefully leaves them hungry for more. As a director, I have to be honest, I immersed myself into delivering this feeling.”
The filmmaker said that everything about War 2 has been crafted with a lot of planning to elevate the theatrical experience of the audience.
