4 reasons why War 2 teaser featuring Jr NTR, Hrithik Roshan, and Kiara Advani has disappointed fans
The highly awaited War 2 teaser, featuring Jr NTR, Hrithik Roshan, and Kiara Advani, dropped on social media yesterday. Although fans were excited to get a first look at the action-packed sequel, the teaser has mostly failed to impress and has left many feeling let down. Since its debut, social media has been buzzing with critiques highlighting various flaws. Let's explore the reasons behind the backlash against the War 2 teaser.
4 reasons why War 2 teaser featuring Jr NTR, Hrithik Roshan, and Kiara Advani has disappointed fans
Bad Quality - Even soda ads are better
The most common and widely expressed opinion about the War 2 teaser is that its quality is disappointing. Viewers have pointed out that the production values look subpar, especially in the clips featuring the lead cast. Many feel the overall visual and technical quality falls short of expectations.
CGI - Kiara Advani's bikini shot looks fake
In one brief scene from the teaser, Kiara Advani is seen walking in a bikini. However, many viewers quickly pointed out that the shot looks unnatural and somewhat fake, suspecting excessive use of CGI. Some even went as far as saying Kiara appears AI-generated in that particular clip.
Poorly choreographed action
The War 2 teaser debacle is proof that even stars like Hrithik Roshan do not get much say in how their tentpole projects should look and feel like.. That basic quality control from an auteur action filmmaker or star is dearly missing in our cinema.
Not a troll:But the VFX quality in #War2Teaser seriously feels off like 90MM Rod level outputAlmost every frame looks like it was shot completely on a green screen, with little to no depth or realism. the action scenes might suffer badly turning into another ADP-range Movie pic.twitter.com/ymiOyenLeo
The action-packed teaser moves at a fast pace, but many viewers pointed out that the scenes lacked proper choreography. For a film that revolves heavily around action, the sequences could have been executed better. However, since this is just the teaser, a more detailed look at the choreography will likely be revealed in the full movie.
Is Jr NTR a misfit in War 2?

NTR Jr. is the biggest negative point of the #War2Teaser! He doesn't fit in this genre. He doesn't have that aura nor the expression to be in a spy flick.#War2 #NTRJr pic.twitter.com/lK9QFgPDh6
Another point that some viewers have raised is that Jr NTR seems miscast in this role. A few people feel that he shouldn't have agreed to play the part, suggesting it doesn't align with his screen presence. Some even went on to say that John Abraham might have been a better fit for the character.

Actor Ashutosh Rana has diversified his career, venturing into various fields, including acting, voiceover work, authorship, and production.

When asked about a potential foray into politics, Ashutosh was straightforward and clear in his response. 'We all are in politics as we are part of a democracy. We all have a right to vote, which means that every person is part of the political world,' Ashutosh tells us in Hindi. The actor continues, 'The only difference is that some people reach the Parliament and some people are part of the whole political system from the road... "Today, I believe we need many more people to raise awareness on the streets. Because agar sadak jagi rahegi toh sansad saji rahegi aur aur sansad saji rahi toh sadak jagruk rahegi (If the streets are awake, the parliament will be vibrant, and if the parliament is vibrant, the streets will be aware)." He emphasised that not everyone can be part of the Parliament. 'I am a part of the over 175 crore people of the country. So, I have no ambition to enter the political world at the moment, and don't even wish to,' says the actor, adding, 'I have political knowledge and understanding but don't have any such ambition. Also, I am talking about my present state of mind as I don't believe in making any plans for the future'. 'I don't plan anything and leave it to god. I believe in the truth of the moment,' says the actor, who will soon be seen in War 2.

Talking about going back to theatre, Ashutosh mentions, 'Theatre is our home ground. A place where my acting journey started'. 'I got back to theatre after 2000. The peace and comfort that an actor gets while performing in theatre can't be matched with anything.... It is really special. We communicate and connect with the audience while performing on the stage,' says the actor, who started his journey with the National School Drama. When asked why he remained away for so long, Ashutosh mentions that he was waiting for the right time and right role. 'I aspired to take theatre to the next level and it was done through this play Humare Ram... It is a larger-than-life story. We had to reflect the grandeur, and the stage, which we were able to do with the play. feel blessed that I got this, which was worth the wait,' he wrapped up.
