“Jr NTR is incredible, and a true champ,” Hrithik said. “He’s the first co-star I’ve worked with who doesn’t need rehearsals. He has every step inside him already. That amazed me completely. Working on the dance-off with Jr NTR was an extraordinary experience, and I learned a lot from him, which I’ll now incorporate,” said during an event in Sri Lanka.
Helmed by Ayan Mukerji and produced under the YRF Spy Universe banner, War 2 is being touted as 2025’s biggest film. As Jr NTR makes his explosive Bollywood debut, reprising a never-before-seen avatar. Reports suggest his character brings an unpredictable, powerful energy to the role, adding an entirely new dynamic to the franchise.
