`War 2` is one of the highly anticipated movies of this year. It is directed by Ayan Mukerji. To match the expectations of the viewers, Ayan revealed how he focused on crafting the storyline of War 2 because he wanted a conflict that was big enough to pit two icons of Indian cinema, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR.

According to the press note shared by the makers, Ayan opened up about the responsibility of continuing the `War` franchise after the prequel emerged as a massive hit at the box office.

"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. 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," said Ayan Mukerji as quoted in a press note.
