War 2 Censor Report: Different Runtimes for Different Languages
As the release day of War 2 is coming closer, fans can’t keep calm to watch the epic battle of Jr. NTR and Hrithik Roshan. War 2 will hit cinemas on August 14, 2025, and it will be during the Independence Day weekend, but audiences in different regions will be watching slightly different cuts of the film:
Hindi Version:
- Certification: U/A (16+)
- Approved Runtime: 2 hours, 53 minutes, 24 seconds (173+ minutes)
Telugu & Tamil Versions:
- Certification: U/A (16+)
- Approved Runtime: 2 hours, 51 minutes, 44 seconds (171+ minutes)
The reason behind the difference in runtime hasn’t been made official by the team, but many experts believe that this time difference is mostly due to language-specific edits or song placement differences.
Original Cut and Voluntary Trimming
Initially, at the time of the announcement, World War 2 was certified with a runtime of 3 hours and 3 minutes; however, later the makers voluntarily removed around 10 minutes.
This cut reportedly included an extended post-credit scene, which was supposed to be the teaser of the next chapter in YRF’s Spy Universe. The scene will be censored separately and might be used as an exclusive element for certain screenings or streaming releases so that enough hype can be built for the next YRF venture.
