Actors Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff have reportedly worked with four top action directors for their upcoming film 'War'. A report claimed that top three Hollywood action directors Paul Jennings, Franz Spilhaus, SeaYoung Oh and Indian Parvez Shaikh were roped in on the project directed by Siddharth Anand.

The report quoted the filmmaker as saying, "When we have Hrithik taking on Tiger, the promise of the film to audiences becomes huge and we wanted to deliver the action experience for people to feel the adrenaline rush. We have four of the top action directors from different parts of the world like Paul Jennings, Franz Spilhaus, SeaYoung Oh and Parvez Shaikh, all specialists in creating a different type of spectacle, choreographing breath-taking, never-seen-before action stunts. The two actors will be seen fighting each other on land, ocean, ice, and even air! We will be disclosing all these big action moments strategically to audiences."

All three action directors are well-acclaimed and have worked with massive Hollywood productions. While Paul is associated with 'Game of Thrones', 'The Dark Knight', and 'San Andreas', SeaYoung is known for his hand-to-hand combats in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron', and 'Snowpiercer'. Franz on the other hand, has choreographed films like 'Safe House'.

Anand said, "We were clear from the start that we want to give the Indian audience action they have never seen before. Our film has a huge car sequence that sees Hrithik and Tiger perform an adrenaline-pumping action stunt that has been entirely shot on ice. We shot this in Finland, which is in the Arctic circle and we were informed by our production team that we were the first ever film in the world to shoot an action sequence of this scale in the Arctic."

'War' is an action entertainer which will see Hrithik and Tiger pitted against each other in a ferocious showdown. The film also stars Vaani Kapoor and is slated to hit theatres on October 2.
