Jr NTR makes his Bollywood debut
The RRR star made his Bollywood debut with War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. War 2 is a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film sees Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as super spy Kabir, with Jr NTR being introduced as a new addition to the storyline.
The film's promos showcased intense chase sequences, action-packed confrontations, and dance-offs between Jr NTR and Hrithik, hinting that they might be on opposite sides.
War 2 released in five languages, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, as part of Yash Raj Films' pan‑India strategy. During an event before the film hit the theatres, Jr NTR addressed fan-made comparisons with Hrithik Roshan following the release of the dance number Janaab-e-Aali.
'Comparisons can mislead fans. It wasn't a face-off. We complemented each other. Hrithik is one of the greatest dancers in the country. Every day on set, Hrithik brought unmatched energy. Those 75 days were fascinating—I learnt so much from him. I'll never forget the first hug he gave me. That warmth made my Bollywood debut journey much easier,' he said.

"We knew we were part of something special, and the energy around the film is an indicator of the same. The unanimous response to my role has been overwhelming. It's a reminder that great cinema is built on collaboration, chemistry, and the thrill of giving audiences something they will remember long after the credits roll.

Ranveer Singh can play Tamraj Kilvish but not Shaktimaan, says Mukesh Khanna: ‘My fans told me don't let this addict play Shaktimaan'
For a while now, there have been reports about the revival of Shaktimaan—India's iconic superhero series that ruled TV screens in the late 90s and early 2000s. The role, immortalised by actor Mukesh Khanna, continues to hold nostalgic value for an entire generation. Recently, reports suggested that Bollywood star Ranveer Singh might be considered for the part. However, Mukesh has made it clear, once again, that he is firmly against the idea. During an interaction with Filmygyan, a fan asked Mukesh Khanna to accept Ranveer Singh as the new Shaktimaan. To this, the veteran actor responded, 'You like Ranveer Singh, and I like him too. We've sat and talked for three hours—he's a very energetic actor. But I told him to his face: you can play Tamraj Kilvish. His face has a mischievous positivity. If you make him Shaktimaan, people may enjoy it because he makes you dance, but the role needs someone mature enough.' Mukesh further explained that his resistance is not just personal, but also influenced by his fans. 'I don't just want an actor, I want the right face for Shaktimaan. If your real-life image is not good, it comes in the way of the role. Several people have warned me against Ranveer Singh. They say, 'Sir, please don't let this addict play Shaktimaan, he will ruin our childhood.'' A few years ago, reports of Shaktimaan being adapted into a feature film began circulating. Mukesh Khanna, who claims to hold the IPR for the character, admitted that he had given a studio the rights for seven years to make the film. Speaking to Galatta India, he explained: 'The IPR is still mine, but we have given them rights for seven years to make a film. I made them write that they won't change Shaktimaan's values. But I regret not making them write that the actor would be cast with my permission. They said they'll ask me, but the final call will be theirs.'

In one of his YouTube videos, he recalled, 'That photoshoot was the start of my aversion towards him. Ranveer told me he didn't actually do it—that he was wearing underwear and later fired his promotional team. I believed him. But when I looked back, I remembered his statement to the media, where he said he was comfortable with it. I recall giving a statement: 'You may be comfortable, but we aren't.'' As of now, while a Shaktimaan movie may still be in the pipeline, the question of who will don the superhero's iconic costume remains a contentious issue.

War 2 vs Coolie Box Office Collection Day 3: A power-packed Thursday unfolded when two high-octane action films – War 2 and Coolie – hit the big screens. Both films were highly anticipated, and fans were looking forward to them. While War 2 had a bumpy start, Coolie made solid earnings. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Coolie minted Rs 65 crore on day 1, whereas War 2 earned Rs 51 crore, marking a huge difference. Though both movies have entered the Rs 100 crore club, the competition between them is going head-to-head in terms of earnings. War 2 vs Coolie Box Office Collection Detailed Analysis Helmed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 stars Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani. With Jr NTR's presence, the film received a pan-India release. As per Sacnilk, War 2 box office collection on day 1 stood at Rs 51 crore, whereas on day 2, the movie minted Rs 57 crore. Now, War 2 box office collection on day 3 witnessed a sharp decline and earned Rs 33 crore. This pushed War 2's total box office collection to Rs 142 crore. The movie has been released in three languages – Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Though the Hindi belt earned the highest on day 1 – Rs 29 crore – critics called it a failure. However, over the weekend, the Hindi sector witnessed a 50 per cent hike and the movie managed to earn Rs 44 crore in the Hindi belt. Despite a shaky start, War 2 is now inching towards the Rs 150 crore mark in India. On the other hand, Rajinikanth's Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, began with a bumper start. Coolie box office collection on day 1 stood at Rs 65 crore, whereas on day 2 the movie witnessed a decent dip and minted Rs 54 crore. However, on day 3, Coolie box office collection saw a significant dip as the movie earned Rs 38 crore. This pushed Coolie's total box office collection to Rs 158 crore. Coolie was released in 4 languages – Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada – with the Tamil belt generating the maximum revenue. With both movies releasing on the same date, War 2 and Coolie are giving edge-to-edge competition to each other. On just the second day of release, both films entered the Rs 100 crore club, and now, while Coolie has already crossed the Rs 150 crore mark, War 2 is inching closer to it. War 2 Movie Review War 2 movie review by reads, 'The plot of War 2 is painfully predictable, the VFX are subpar, and the dialogues often border on cringeworthy. Hrithik's much-hyped mass entry and a few well-executed action scenes are the only moments worth noting.' Coolie Movie Review Coolie movie review by reads, 'Overall, Coolie aspires to be a mass entertainer but is hindered by a fragmented storyline and underdeveloped characters. The ensemble cast's potential is largely untapped, and the narrative's lack of focus detracts from the overall experience. It misses the mark on multiple fronts, making it an unexpected misstep in Lokesh's otherwise strong filmography.'
