Tiger played the role of an intelligent undercover operative Khalid and he defied gravity to pull off death-defying stunts in the film, directed by Siddharth Anand. Talking about the film, Anand said that his intention with aWar' was to raise the bar in action and stunts in Hindi cinema. "To make spectacle action films and my attempt in the last 5-7 years, seven years actually since 'Bang Bang', has been to create benchmark action films like WAR and to fill that void has been my endeavour." Even Hrithik Roshan Has ‘Mumbai’ Problems, As Twitterati Can’t Unsee Scaffolding and Seepage in His Morning Pic With Mom Pinky Roshan.

The film also starred Vaani Kapoor, who was seen playing the love interest of Hrithik in the movie. Vaani said: "I believe with every film, one discovers a new dimension to themselves. You gain experience, new learnings and observations as an artiste. It helps build a better foundation for future work. "I do feel till date, I've been blessed with some of the most beautiful songs in my filmography be it 'Gulabi', 'Nashe si chad gayi' or'Ghungroo'."

Vaani also spoke about her chemistry with Hrithik in the film. She said: "I'm happy it was perceived that way. Hrithik's phenomenal in whatever he does, be it acting or dance. A very self-aware individual, hardworking and an intelligent artist. I'm just grateful to have had the opportunity to share the screen space with him. "It's been an honour and a delight to share the screen with him. Hopefully, next time, given the opportunity, I will work even harder so I can perform half as good as he does."
