There's a lot of buzz surrounding the sequel to Hrithik Roshan's blockbuster film, War, titled War 2. This time, South superstar Jr. NTR will be starring alongside Hrithik, further increasing the anticipation among audiences.
Entertainment: Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan and South's mega star Jr. NTR are set to appear together in War 2, one of the most talked-about films this year. This film is a sequel to War, which starred Hrithik and Tiger Shroff and was released in 2019, and is considered part of Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe. While there's tremendous excitement among fans for the film, a recent piece of news regarding the promotion has surprised everyone.
Why are they distancing themselves before promotion?
According to reports, Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR will not be seen together before the release of War 2. This means both stars will promote the film separately. It is said that Yash Raj Films has devised a special strategy under which the two stars will not be brought together in any promotional event or media interview.
Moreover, both stars will not be shown together in any promotional video. Thus, fans will only get to see this pairing of Hrithik and Jr. NTR on the big screen. Yash Raj Films has adopted this kind of strategy in the promotion of its films before as well. For example, during Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham also kept their distance from media interviews and focused directly on the film's release.
What is the reason behind this strategy?
Film industry insiders say that the makers of War 2 want to maintain the image of conflict between Hrithik and Jr. NTR in the minds of the audience until the release. Since both superstars will be seen facing each other in the film, the makers don't want their on-screen camaraderie to be revealed before the release.
According to this theory, if both artists appear together in promotional events, their off-screen chemistry could slightly diminish the audience's excitement for the film. Therefore, the promotion will be done entirely separately.
Kiara Advani's powerful role as well
Apart from Hrithik and Jr. NTR, Kiara Advani is also playing an important role in War 2. According to reports, Kiara will be seen performing many dangerous stunts in the film. Her role in this big-budget spy film from Yash Raj will be quite glamorous and action-packed. Apart from Kiara, some other significant faces will also be seen in the film, the details of which the makers are gradually revealing.
Interestingly, War 2 will be Jr. NTR's first Hindi film. After a blockbuster film like RRR, Jr. NTR has become a superstar across the country, and the anticipation of the audience has increased even more with his entry into Hindi cinema. His character will be opposite Hrithik Roshan in the film, and there are talks of high-voltage action sequences between the two.
Excitement among fans, but also questions
Even though fans may be a little disappointed with this separate promotion plan, their enthusiasm hasn't diminished. People are constantly discussing Hrithik and Jr. NTR's on-screen clash on social media. However, some viewers also believe that if both stars had promoted together, people would have also seen a glimpse of the teamwork of the film.
There has been no official announcement regarding the release date of War 2 yet, but it is believed that the film may hit theaters early next year. The film's teaser has received a fantastic response from fans, and now everyone is waiting for its trailer.
