Hritik Roshan playfully jokes with Jr NTR using a "Naatu Naatu" billboard in humorous back-and-forth related to hypothetical film "War 2"
In the lead-up to the highly anticipated release of "War 2" on August 14, 2025, a playful billboard banter between lead actors Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR has taken the promotional campaign by storm, generating excitement and buzz among fans.
The friendly rivalry between the two actors, mirroring their on-screen showdown in the action-packed spy thriller directed by Ayan Mukerji, began when Jr NTR sent a billboard truck to Hrithik's Mumbai residence, stating, "Ghungroo toot jaayenge par hum se yeh war jeet nahi paaoge," implying that though setbacks may happen, victory in this 'war' would not be easy for Hrithik[1][2].
Hrithik responded with a billboard featuring a reference to his Oscar-winning song "Ghungroo" from "War 2" and a confident statement about winning the war. This playful dig at Jr NTR's iconic dance song from the movie RRR added an entertaining twist to the exchange[2][3].
The innovative billboard banter serves as a unique promotional strategy for "War 2," blending real-life camaraderie with cinematic competition to build anticipation and engage viewers[1][2][3][4]. The off-screen interaction symbolically reflects the movie's central "war" between their characters Kabir and Nataraj, making it an extension of the film's theme.
Jr NTR's Bollywood debut in "War 2" adds an extra layer of excitement for fans across regional and national audiences[1][2]. While no major announcements regarding the next film in YRF's spy universe have been made yet, speculation suggests an addition with the codename Alpha is in the works[5].
With a running time of 2 hours and 53 minutes and a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification, "War 2" is set to deliver an action-packed cinematic experience. Joining Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in the cast is Kiara Advani[6]. As the release date approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting the climactic clash between these formidable actors on the big screen.
