‘War 2’ has been generating strong buzz ever since its trailer dropped, with the face-off between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR grabbing the Internet’s attention. Adding to the excitement, the two actors fuelled the hype further with a playful exchange on X, debating whether the film’s promotional hashtag should be #HrithikvsNTR or #NTRvsHrithik.

On August 3, Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan brought their on-screen rivalry into the digital space with a fun hashtag face-off on X. Hrithik Roshan kicked off the banter and said, “The WAR lines are drawn again, and the hashtag says it all! For every update, every reveal, stick with #HrithikvsNTR. This is where the action begins (sic)!”

Here’s the post:

Jr NTR responded with a playful retort and said there was only one rightful hashtag. “#War2 updates and exclusives? Hey @iHrithik sir, we discussed it! There’s only one hashtag to follow: #NTRvsHrithik. Stay tuned because this WAR is just getting started (sic)!” he posted.

Their friendly jabs continued, with Hrithik saying, “Haha, good one @tarak9999! But the hashtag is #HrithikvsNTR – let’s not complicate this, okay?” NTR doubled down and said, “Admit it @iHrithik sir, #NTRvsHrithik just has a better ring to it. Let’s call it a win for me already (sic)!”

This exchange came days after the film’s trailer was released on July 25, giving audiences a first glimpse at the high-stakes face-off between Roshan’s Kabir Dhaliwal and Jr NTR’s mysterious antagonist. The teaser also introduced Kiara Advani’s character and hinted at a globe-trotting action drama rooted in the larger YRF Spy Universe.

Here’s the trailer:

The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on August 14, 2025. It will be released in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. The release date sets up a major box office clash with Rajinikanth’s ‘Coolie’, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and backed by an ensemble cast.
