Speaking at the pre-release event of War 2 on Sunday, Jr NTR said that the August 14th release features many twists. He urged the audience not to put out spoilers on social media. For the first time ever, he raised both sides of his collar to signal his confidence in War 2's success. Hrithik Roshan, his co-star, joined him amid loud cheers by thousands of fans.
Jr NTR thanked writer-producer Aditya Chopra for convincing him to do War 2. "It's he who gave me the confidence to act in this film. I thank the entire Yash Raj Films team on this occasion. YRF studios made me feel at home. I can't wait to be back with YRF. Only Ayan Mukerji could have directed War 2, one of the best films of our time. He spent sleepless nights to carve this visual extravaganza," the Devara actor said.
Tarak praised Hrithik Roshan's dance moves, saying that he was reminded of Michael Jackson when he watched him first on the big screen. "If there is any actor in the country who is the most dedicated to his craft, it is Hrithik Roshan. There was a time when I aspired for his impeccable style of dancing. He is the greatest dancer in the country. I am extremely proud to have got to dance alongside him. Salam Anali is not a versus song; it is about two dancers complementing each other. 75 days of working with him taught me so much," the RRR actor said.
"War 2 is as much about me going to Bollywood as it is about Hrithik Roshan coming to Telugu cinema. I began my career 25 years ago with Ninnu Choodalani. On the launch date of my debut movie, only my father was beside me. I thank him and my mother on this occasion," Tarak said.
Hrithik Roshan described Tarak as a younger brother. "I am so honoured and I am so grateful to be here in Hyderabad. We are just four days away from the release of War 2. I and Tarak started out as co-stars. We ended up as brothers in real life. War 2 sits right on the top in my filmography. The love and appreciation I got when I played Kabir in War (2019) reminded me of the love I received when I did Kaho Na Pyar Hai, Krish and Dhoom. This time, it is going to be even more intense. War 2 is going to be unmissable. I and Tarak worked very hard on the film. We sometimes injured ourselves. But when I saw how strong Tarak is, I couldn't complain even though I was in pain. My director Ayan has a vision. I don't know what I have done to deserve this love from the audience. I will keep working hard to deserve this. I see a lot of myself in Tarak. We have had similar journeys in the last 25 years. I think Tarak sees a little bit of himself in me also. He is a one-take star on set. He goes into each shot 100%. After giving his shot, he doesn't even check the monitor. He knows he has given his best. Tarak is also an amazing chef. He makes the best food," Hrithik said.
