Kiara Advani holds a gun in 'boss lady' avatar as she shares her first 'non-bikini look' from War 2

Kiara Advani has shared a new look of her character from YRF Spy Universe film, War 2, which sees in a more action-packed avatar.

When the teaser of Yash Raj Films' spy film War 2 was released last month, Kiara Advani proudly proclaimed how the film marked her first on-screen bikini moment. However, the internet was a little miffed as to how the YRF Spy Universe tends to bracket all its female protagonists as bikini-clad glam dolls, from Deepika Padukone to Vaani Kapoor, and now Kiara. Well, the actor is out to show that she is more than that.
