Why Hrithik Roshan And Jr NTR Will Skip Joint Promotions For War 2
New Delhi: 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.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hrithik Roshan (@hrithikroshan) Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the sequel to the 2019 Siddharth Anand directorial War. Apart from Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, the film also features Kiara Advani in a key role. War 2 is produced and distributed by Yash Raj Films.

Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR to 'never share the stage together' until War 2 release. Why?
In a bold and unconventional promotional move, Yash Raj Films is flipping the script for War 2 —the much-anticipated showdown between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR . While fans are counting down to see the two powerhouses collide on screen, they won't be spotting them side by side off it. Why? Because YRF wants the conflict to hit first—raw, explosive, and unfiltered—before any camaraderie makes its way to screens. Hrithik vs NTR YRF has decided to keep Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR apart during all pre-release promotions, ensuring they are never seen together on stage, in interviews, or in any joint video. The studio believes that revealing their onscreen rivalry only in theatres will heighten the emotional and cinematic payoff. Citing a senior trade source, IANS revealed that there will be a bloody carnage on screen, and the audience deserves to experience that intense conflict before seeing them off-screen together. Hence, this once-in-a-lifetime cinematic moment should unfold only in cinemas. New posters for War 2 With more than a month to go before release, YRF unveiled intense new posters of the two stars, revealing their deadly avatars. Hrithik Roshan shared his look, bruised and wielding a weapon, with the caption: 'This time he's ruthless, merciless, relentless and ready for WAR! Are you? The countdown begins now.' — iHrithik (@iHrithik) Meanwhile, Jr NTR dropped his own action-packed poster where he's seen firing bullets with fierce intensity, captioned: 'Bet you haven't ever seen a WAR like this! Let's count it down #50DaysToWar2 .... Releasing in Telugu, Hindi & Tamil on August 14th in cinemas worldwide!' — tarak9999 (@tarak9999) Ayan Mukerji's vision for the YRF Spy Universe Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 marks the next chapter in the blockbuster YRF Spy Universe , which already includes Pathaan, Tiger 3, and the original War. With cutting-edge visuals, breathtaking stunts, and a storyline set to span continents, this film is shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events of the year. The countdown begins War 2 is set to release worldwide in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil on August 14, 2025, in IMAX—just in time for the Independence Day weekend. And with YRF keeping the fire of rivalry burning till the curtains rise, the wait might just be worth every second.
