Vaani Kapoor played the female lead in War, which was released in 2019. Though she had a small role in the film, the actress had left a mark. Now, in War 2, while Hrithik Roshan returns, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani have joined the franchise. The first instalment also featured Tiger Shroff, and both Tiger and Vaani's characters died in the movie. Recently in an interview with Siddarth Kannan, Vaani spoke about not being a part of War 2.
The actress said, “Me, Sid (director Sidharth Anand), and Tiger are all not there in the sequel. Tiger and I both passed away in War. So I said, if Tiger comes back, I’m coming back too, my friend!”
