According to the sources, “In War 2, Jr NTR is pitted against Hrithik Roshan. It’s going to be incredible! Their battle of wits and violent confrontation will undoubtedly be a big-screen action extravaganza to remember. War has become a real pan-Indian picture. Aditya Chopra’s decision allows War 2 to have the broadest public appeal for a Hindi film while also increasing the picture’s box office possibilities. Because of the presence of their adored idol, South India should come alive and connect on a more emotional level with the film.”
“One of South India’s most renowned and adored icons is Junior NTR. He is believed to be a very discriminating moviegoer, so if he approved of the film, it means that War 2 performs better than the first in terms of story and length. The chemistry between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR will be one to remember! Let’s set a reminder to watch this fight on the first day! Aditya Chopra had to take War 2 to a whole new level of scale, and the addition of Jr NTR has made this concept incredibly appealing to audiences,” the source added.
War 2 will show up in the Yash Raj Spy Universe, which includes Pathaan and Salman Khan’s Tiger flicks. Salman appeared as Tiger in Pathaan, and Hrithik’s character Kabir was referenced in a conversation but did not appear. War, directed by Siddharth Anand and starring Tiger Shroff, was one of the year’s biggest successes.
