Alpha Star Alia Bhatt Reacts to 'War 2' Trailer: “Mazedaar” – Ayan Mukerji’s Action Spectacle Earns High Praise From Bollywood’s Queen
Alia Bhatt, the reigning superstar of Bollywood, just gave her stamp of approval to the most anticipated film of the year — Ayan Mukerji’s War 2. And her reaction? Just one word: “Mazedaar”
That single word has set social media on fire.
With sky-high expectations already riding on this mega-action sequel starring Hrithik Roshan, NTR Jr., and Kiara Advani, War 2 just got a major boost — not from a critic, not from a trade analyst, but from Bollywood’s own alpha star and National Award winner, Alia Bhatt.
Alia’s One-Word Review Goes Viral
In a recent exclusive press interaction during the promotions of her international venture, Alia was asked if she had caught a glimpse of the recently leaked or internally circulated trailer of War 2. The actress flashed her trademark smile and replied:
“It’s mazedaar! Like full-on paisa vasool stuff. I know Ayan’s vision — and this is next level.”
Her comment, though short, speaks volumes. Known for being selective with praise, especially for films she’s not involved in, Alia’s reaction has added to the mounting hype around the YRF Spy Universe’s next mega installment.
Alia & Ayan: A Bond Beyond the Camera
Alia’s comment also carried weight because of her long-standing creative and personal rapport with Ayan Mukerji. The two delivered the visual spectacle Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva together in 2022, and Ayan is also a close family friend.
A source close to the actress revealed:
“Alia’s seen rough cuts of War 2, and she’s genuinely impressed. She knows Ayan’s process — he’s taken his time with this, and it shows.”
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) were quick to jump in:
-
“If Alia Bhatt calls it ‘mazedaar’, you know we’re in for a treat.”
-
“Ayan Mukerji + Hrithik + NTR + Alia’s excitement = guaranteed blockbuster.”

Alia Bhatt: Bollywood’s Barometer of Quality

And with War 2 releasing this Diwali, her endorsement couldn’t have come at a better time.
Fan Theories: Will Alia Join The YRF Spy Universe?
Now that she’s hyped the trailer, fans are speculating: Is there more to Alia’s involvement than just admiration?
Could she be the next big entry into the Spyverse after Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif?
Nothing is confirmed, but fans are buzzing with excitement. As one tweet said:
“Imagine Alia and Deepika teaming up in a future Spyverse crossover? We’re READY!”
Alia Bhatt’s “mazedaar” stamp has added fresh excitement to War 2's already explosive buzz. With her influence and eye for quality, her words are more than just praise — they’re a promise of what’s to come.
So, if you weren’t already hyped for War 2, Alia Bhatt just gave you one more reason to mark your calendar.
