'War 2' actor Jr NTR reveals he cooks like a "pro"; spills the beans about his favourite snack
Picture Credit: X Jr NTR is gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated Bollywood debut 'War 2', and the actor is letting fans into his personal world like never before. The Telugu star opened up about life outside the spotlight, as he made a delightful revelation about his hobby - cooking. In a recent feature with Esquire India, Jr NTR, revealed that cooking is one of his favourite off-screen hobbies. "I cook like a pro," he shared, adding that he often prepares meals for his wife, Lakshmi Pranathi, and close friends. Punugulu is a favourite Of all the dishes he makes, Punugulu has a special place in his heart. This deep-fried snack made from fermented idli or dosa batter, chopped onions, and green chillies is a fixture across households and street food vendors in Telugu. Punugulu (sometimes referred to as pudi, which is also synonymous with batter) is generally served in the evening, with spicy chutneys and hot tea. While Punugulu is his go-to snack, Jr NTR also enjoys making Biryani. Hype around 'War 2' builds Jr NTR is about to take his first step in Bollywood, opposite Hrithik Roshan . Both actors are known for their exhilarating performances and sensational dance moves. Their forthcoming "War" film has been drawing a lot of attention, and the promotional campaign for the action-thriller 'War 2' has escalated because of a bit of playful and imagined banter between its lead stars, Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upgrade your PM skillset IITD PM Apply Now Undo Earlier, Jr NTR sent a billboard truck to Hrithik Roshan's Mumbai residence, featuring an image of himself and a bold message: "Ghungroo toot jaayenge par hum se yeh war jeet nahi paaoge" (Ghungroos may break, but you won't win this war against me). Hrithik responded to this unexpected challenge with a posed photo in front of the billboard, sharing a witty caption on Instagram, "Okay @jrntr, now you've taken it too far by sending an actual billboard under my house. Alright, challenge accepted. Remember you brought this upon yourself." Hrithik retorted with his own billboard stunt, sending a 'Naatu Naatu'-themed truck to Jr NTR's residence. The message: "Naatu Naatu as much as you want but I am winning this war." Jr NTR replied playfully, posting, "Nice return gift @hrithikroshan sir. But this is not the end! The War begins for real on 14th August. See you then!".

Nintendo Direct July 2025 date, time, and more
Image via Nintendo. It's been a long time since a Nintendo Direct was held. However, the wait is finally over as a Nintendo Direct is going to be organized soon even before July ends. This event has always been a treat for the fans because not only it reveals new Nintendo titles and updates, it also gives us a glimpse of the upcoming console section as well. Along with these, Nintendo Directs often feature developers Q&A sections, where fan queries get answered. Now, the upcoming Nintendo Direct seems to have all of these, but there is actually a catch. Everything you need to know about Nintendo Direct July 2025 Last time a proper and full-fledged Nintendo Direct happened was in March 2025 where many new titles like Shadow Labyrinth, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, and many more were announced. Since then fans have been waiting for a proper Nintendo Direct. Another Nintendo Direct was slated to be held in June, but it coincided with the Switch 2 release. Two other events - Nintendo Switch 2 Dedicated Direct and Donkey Kong Bonanza Direct - were held in April and June respectively but those weren't the usual ones. The wait is finally over because the long-hailed console company is finally organizing a Nintendo Direct event on July 31, 2025, at 6 AM PT/ 9 AM ET. However, the catch is that this event is going to be a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upgrade your PM skillset IITD PM Apply Now Undo So, this event is going to feature third-party titles only; there won't be any updates about the Nintendo first-party titles, like the highly anticipated release date of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase 7.31.2025 Now, the question is, how to watch the upcoming event? It's quite easy as the whole event, which is believed to be about roughly 25 minutes in length, will be livestreamed from the official YouTube channel of Nintendo. The channel has already scheduled a broadcast on YouTube, hence fans are advised to put reminders there so that they don't miss out on this live event. However, there have been rumors in the air as well that Nintendo might be hosting an actual full-fledged Direct first-party showcase in September, as it has been long since the company has organized one.
