Interestingly, War 2 will also mark Pritam's second collaboration with Roshan after Dhoom 2.
Elaborating on this partnership, an insider told Pinkvilla, "Pritam is excited to design the music for War 2, as the idea is to compose songs which are to be picturized on two of the finest dancers of Indian Cinema—Roshan and Jr NTR."
"The team is putting in all efforts to amp up the stakes—be it scale, action, storytelling, or music," it added.
Big sequences planned
Similar to music, big action sequences are planned
Meanwhile, acclaimed Hollywood cinematographer Ben Jasper, known for his work on projects like The Night Manager, has been brought on board to capture the film's visual spectacle.
Jasper previously worked with Roshan on the first installment of the franchise.
The production reportedly started five months ago in Spain, where a thrilling car chase sequence was filmed.
Now, NTR's involvement will kick off later, likely in April.
