With just a day left for the release of ‘War 2′, actor NTR is all fired up and excited, not just about the film, but about sharing the screen with Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan.
The movie hits theatres on August 14 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, and NTR promises it’s going to be “madness.”
Speaking about the experience, NTR said with a big smile, “’War 2’ is going to be crazy. The film has turned out really well. You will see the madness for yourself on August 14. Hrithik Roshan garu and I, in a way, started our careers around the same time.”
The Telugu star then went down memory lane, remembering the first time he saw Hrithik on the big screen. “When ‘Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai’ released back in 2000, I watched it and went mad,” he admitted with a laugh. “He was just amazing. I’ve been admiring him ever since.”
For NTR, working with Hrithik now feels like life coming full circle. “He is one of the greatest dancers in the country right now. My journey started by admiring him, and after all these years, I got the chance to act and dance with him. It’s been a dream.”
Interestingly, NTR doesn’t see ‘War 2’ as his “Bollywood debut” in the usual sense. Instead, he calls it a collaboration between industries.
“This is not just NTR going to Hindi cinema,” he explained. “It’s also Hrithik sir coming into Telugu cinema. He’s even given his own voice for the Telugu version and mouthed all the dialogues himself. That means a lot.”

The actor was also quick to thank everyone who made his journey possible. “Thanks to my family, fans, and well-wishers for blessing me. I am here today because of you.”
Hrithik Roshan, who is returning as the much-loved character Kabir from the first ‘War’, has also been hyping up the sequel. Recently, he shared how thrilled he is to be back in the role.
“This time, Kabir is even more intense, more emotional, and in a bigger dilemma than before,” Hrithik said. “Playing him again has been a joy, and ‘War 2’ is going to be something unmissable.”
The film is directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. It’s part of the ever-expanding YRF Spy Universe, which also includes hits like ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’.
Kiara Advani also joins the cast, adding glamour and freshness to the high-energy mix.
To make the experience even bigger, ‘War 2’ will release in Dolby Cinema across key global markets, including North America, the UK, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and more, apart from its massive Indian release.
