NTR at War 2 pre release event

NTR asserted that nothing can deter him as long as he has the blessings of his grandfather, the legendary late N.T. Rama Rao. Speaking at the pre-release event of “War 2” in Hyderabad on Sunday night, the actor addressed his fans with passion. Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan, who plays the main lead, was also present.

NTR revealed that his decision to be part of “War 2” had nothing to do with the story, remuneration, or any other factor.

“The sole reason is producer Aditya Chopra. He told me, ‘You should do this movie, and trust me, I will produce it in a way that your fans will be proud of you.’ I believed his words, and I’m thankful to him,” NTR shared.

He also mentioned that he was once invited as the chief guest for Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra, but prior commitments kept him away. “Now, I’ve had the opportunity to work under his direction for War 2. He worked day and night to bring this film to life, especially since it features two stars — Hrithik Roshan and me,” NTR added.

On Hrithik, NTR was full of praise

“I’m a big fan of Hrithik Roshan. Twenty-five years ago, when Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai released, I was mesmerized by his dance. In my opinion, he’s one of the greatest actors in Indian cinema and the best dancer in the country. War 2 is not only my first Hindi film, but also Hrithik Roshan’s first Telugu film,” NTR said.
