Not one to back down from a challenge, Jr NTR responded with equal enthusiasm and wit. Thanking Hrithik in advance, he playfully hinted at a "special return gift," suggesting that he's ready to match Hrithik's surprise with one of his own. "@Hrithikroshan sir!!! Can't wait to hunt you down to give you a special return gift Kabir…#War2," Jr NTR wrote, addressing Hrithik by his character name in the film. This response has sent fans into a frenzy, eagerly awaiting what's in store.
The exchange between the two actors is being seen as an unofficial confirmation that the teaser or first look of "War 2" will be released on May 20th, coinciding with Jr NTR's birthday. This would be a strategic move by the film's team to kickstart their marketing campaign and generate further buzz around the movie.
