**Mumbai, India – May 17, 2024** – The clash of titans is heating up! Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, two of India’s biggest movie stars, are set to ignite the screen in “War 2,” and the first official glimpse of the highly anticipated film is expected to drop on May 20th, Jr NTR’s birthday.

Trust me you have NO idea what’s in store. Ready?”

Jr NTR swiftly responded, accepting the challenge with equal gusto: “Thank you in advance @iHrithik sir!!! Can’t wait to hunt you down to give you a special return gift Kabir… #War2.”

The exchange has sent fans into a frenzy, anticipating the first official look at “War 2,” directed by Ayan Mukerji.

The film has already generated considerable buzz, especially in Telugu-speaking regions where Jr NTR enjoys immense popularity.
