Why Hrithik Roshan And Jr NTR Will Skip Joint Promotions For War 2
The cinematic clash between Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR in War 2 is set to be one of the most epic battles on the big screen. In a strategic move, the makers have decided to take a unique approach to promotions. Hrithik and Jr NTR will be promoting the film separately.
According to media reports, Yash Raj Films is using this unique strategy to maintain the surprise and intensity of their onscreen clash by keeping them apart during promotions.
'Hrithik & NTR will be promoting War 2 separately, and all plans have been made keeping in mind that they would never share the stage together, never be in any promotional video together pre-release and never be seen with each other," a source told the Hindustan Times.
The insider added, "Hrithik and NTR coming together is a once-in-a-lifetime cinematic moment in Indian cinema, and there will be a bloody carnage on the big screen. YRF is clear that the audience should first experience this rivalry before they see the two promote with camaraderie. They want to deliver the best movie-watching experience to people by preserving the conflict, which is the unique selling point of the film."
Last week, Hrithik Roshan shared fresh posters of himself from War 2 on Instagram. The poster offered a close-up shot of the actor looking fierce. He sported a bruised avatar, holding a weapon with a grim expression on his face. He returns as Major Kabir in the War sequel.
The caption read, 'This time he is ruthless, merciless, relentless and ready for WAR! Are you? The countdown begins now. 50 Days to War 2.'

Rejected by Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna, this film became blockbuster due to Amitabh Bachchan, earned Rs…, movie is…
Rejected by Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna, this film became blockbuster due to Amitabh Bachchan, earned Rs…, movie is… "You're Harivansh Rai Bachchan's son and you can't speak Urdu? Shame on you!" — a public insult that nearly derailed Kaalia, but instead became a turning point. By Shiwani Kumari Advertisement Kaalia (1981) wasn't just another hit in Amitabh Bachchan's legendary filmography — it was a defining moment that blended rage, rhythm, and raw intensity. His gritty look, fierce delivery, and now iconic dialogues helped cement his image as the 'angry young man' of Indian cinema. The film, directed by Tinnu Anand, went on to become one of the biggest blockbusters of its time, earning over Rs 4 crore (then a massive figure). A voice that was almost silenced While audiences were cheering for his thunderous dialogue delivery, there was a moment during the shoot when everything nearly fell apart. The film's writer, Inder Raj Anand, who also happened to be director Tinnu Anand's father, humiliated Amitabh in front of nearly 200 people on set. Advertisement === As Tinnu once revealed in an interview, Inder Raj Anand lost his temper over Amitabh's difficulty with Urdu diction and snapped, 'Tum par laanat hai. Harivansh Rai Bachchan ke bete ho aur Urdu nahi bol pa rahe?' The line cut deep. Everyone thought Bachchan would walk out of the film. But he didn't. Instead, he doubled down on his craft and went on to deliver some of the most powerful lines in Hindi cinema. Advertisement === A script that almost went elsewhere What many don't know is that Kaalia wasn't originally written for Amitabh. The film was first offered to Dharmendra, who liked the script but had scheduling conflicts. Then it went to Vinod Khanna, who at the time had stepped away from the film industry temporarily. And so, fate handed the role to Big B — a decision that changed the course of the film and his screen persona. Alongside Amitabh, the film also starred Parveen Babi, Asha Parekh, and Amjad Khan, adding more firepower to the narrative. When failure turned to fury and fury turned to gold What could've been a walkout became a war cry. That public humiliation pushed Amitabh into a performance that roared on screen. His baritone, his presence, and his defiance turned Kaalia into a cultural phenomenon.
