Recently, Yash Raj Films introduced Hrithik's War 2 character in a post-credit scene from Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif starrer Tiger 3.

The post-credit clip from Tiger 3 went viral on social media which raised fans' excitement for the upcoming sequel.

The film is a sequel to the 2019 action thriller film War which starred Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Vani Kapoor in the lead roles.

Directed by Siddarth Anand, War featured Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff in lead roles. This high-octane action drama minted 200 crores within seven days of its release in 2019. It's touted to be one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of that year.

Meanwhile, Hrithik will be next seen in director Siddharth Anand's upcoming aerial action thriller film 'Fighter' opposite Deepika Padukone.

Jr NTR, on the other hand, will be seen in the Pan-India film Devara which also stars Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles.
