On her Instagram Story, Alia Bhatt shared the trailer of War 2 and wrote, "Mazedaaaaaaaaaar", followed by "See you on the 14th in a cinema near meee". At first glance, it seemed like the Gangubai Kathiawadi star was simply excited about watching the film. However, things took a turn when fans noticed she had tagged not only the lead stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, but also Ayan Mukerji, who is directing War 2. That's all it took for social media to erupt in theories about Alia Bhatt's involvement in the film.
