War 2 storm hits Hyderabad: Hrithik Roshan & Jr NTR’s first joint appearance sends fans into frenzy, watch
YRF’s upcoming spy thriller War 2, a high-octane addition to its Spy Universe, has fans counting down to the explosive face-off between Hrithik Roshan’s Major Kabir Dhaliwal and Jr NTR’s Vikram. With the release date fast approaching, the two powerhouses put an end to weeks of speculation by appearing together at the film’s grand pre-release event in Hyderabad, their only promotional outing before the premiere.
Earlier buzz suggested the duo wouldn’t share the stage until their big-screen clash, but their surprise joint appearance sent the crowd into a frenzy. On Sunday, Hyderabad transformed into a sea of cheers as fans, many of whom had travelled from across states, erupted at the sight of Hrithik and Tarak together. The city buzzed with chants, whistles, and flashing cameras as the Spy Universe heroes stood side by side.
On stage, Hrithik went beyond the usual greetings, delivering an emotional tribute to his co-star. He spoke about the similarities in their careers, lauding Jr NTR’s unmatched dedication and calling him a 'one-take final-take star'. The Krrish actor also revealed that working with NTR taught him the importance of giving 100% to every shot, a lesson he intends to carry forward in all future projects.
“I see a lot of myself in Tarak. We have had very similar journeys for 25 years now, and I think Tarak sees a little bit of himself in me also. It is true when they say that he is a one-take final-take star," said Duggu.
Further, he added, "On set, Tarak, I have not just observed you, but I have learnt from you. I have learnt how to go into a shot 100%, not 99.99%, not 99.999, but 100%. Which is why when he comes out of a shot, there is no judgment on me. He will not even check the shot because he knows he has given everything to it. And I will apply that in my future films. Tarak, thank you for teaching me that."
