The war has already begun – at least off-screen. In a clever and cheeky promotional move, Hrithik Roshan sent a ‘Naatu Naatu’-themed billboard truck to his ‘War 2’ co-star Jr NTR’s home, playfully taunting him ahead of their big-screen showdown. This quirky exchange marks the beginning of a lighthearted ‘war’ between the two stars, building anticipation for the action-packed spy thriller that hits cinemas on August 14, 2025.
Jr NTR, who makes his Bollywood debut with this high-stakes YRF Spy Universe entry, shared the photo of the billboard on Instagram. It read: “Naatu Naatu as much as you want but I am winning this war (sic).”
Captioning the photo, Jr NTR wrote, “Nice return gift @hrithikroshan sir But this is not the end! The War begins for real on 14th August. See you then (sic)! ”

In response, he sent a billboard truck of his own to Hrithik’s Mumbai residence, featuring his image and the line: “Ghungroo toot jaayenge par hum se yeh war jeet nahi paaoge (sic).”
This spirited exchange between the two actors has added an exciting layer to the buzz around ‘War 2’, directed by Ayan Mukerji. The film has been granted a U/A certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and clocks in at 2 hours and 53 minutes. Packed with high-octane action and set against the backdrop of espionage, it promises a riveting cinematic experience.
Also starring Kiara Advani in a leading role, ‘War 2’ plays a pivotal role in the expanding YRF Spy Universe. The film also lays the groundwork for the next chapter, ‘Alpha’, led by Alia Bhatt. Though speculation about Alia’s cameo in ‘War 2’ is rife, there’s no official word yet.
The teaser offers a glimpse of the cat-and-mouse game between Hrithik’s Kabir and Jr NTR’s Nataraj, suggesting a face-off that’s equal parts gritty and gripping.
