Jr NTR makes his Bollywood debut
The RRR star made his Bollywood debut with War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. War 2 is a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film sees Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as super spy Kabir, with Jr NTR being introduced as a new addition to the storyline.
The film's promos showcased intense chase sequences, action-packed confrontations, and dance-offs between Jr NTR and Hrithik, hinting that they might be on opposite sides.
War 2 released in five languages, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, as part of Yash Raj Films’ pan‑India strategy. During an event before the film hit the theatres, Jr NTR addressed fan-made comparisons with Hrithik Roshan following the release of the dance number Janaab-e-Aali.
“Comparisons can mislead fans. It wasn’t a face-off. We complemented each other. Hrithik is one of the greatest dancers in the country. Every day on set, Hrithik brought unmatched energy. Those 75 days were fascinating—I learnt so much from him. I’ll never forget the first hug he gave me. That warmth made my Bollywood debut journey much easier,” he said.
