A Birthday Gift for Fans
Jr NTR, known as the "Man of Masses," has captivated audiences with his dynamic performances in films like RRR and Devara: Part 1. His 42nd birthday is extra special as Yash Raj Films (YRF) is releasing the first teaser for War 2 on this day, a strategic move to capitalize on his massive fanbase. Hrithik Roshan, his co-star, teased the surprise on social media, saying, “Hey @tarak9999, think you know what to expect on the 20th of May this year? Trust me you have NO idea what’s in store. Ready? #War2.” This has sent fans into a frenzy, eagerly awaiting the teaser.
War 2: Jr NTR’s Bollywood Debut
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, is the sixth film in YRF’s Spy Universe, following hits like Ek Tha Tiger and Pathaan. Starring Jr NTR alongside Hrithik Roshan (reprising his role as RAW agent Kabir) and Kiara Advani, the film is set for a grand release on August 14, 2025. Jr NTR is rumored to play an antagonist with a character arc that extends beyond this film, potentially leading to standalone projects and crossovers in the Spy Universe. The teaser, dropping on his birthday, is expected to showcase his intense, larger-than-life persona, tailored to his dynamic screen presence.
Strategic Move by NTRNeel Makers
The makers of Jr NTR’s other upcoming film, NTRNeel (tentatively titled, directed by Prashanth Neel), initially planned to release a glimpse on May 20 but postponed it to let War 2 take center stage. Mythri Movie Makers announced on X: “Respecting the WAR… Before unleashing the CARNAGE. For now, #WAR2 takes over the proceedings. We’ll arrive next at the perfect time to launch our MASS MISSILE – #NTRNeel Glimpse.” This move highlights the strategic focus on Jr NTR’s Bollywood debut while building anticipation for NTRNeel, set for June 25, 2026.
