At a recent 'War 2' event in Hyderabad, Jr NTR, also known as "The Man of The Masses," shared a heartfelt recollection of his first encounter with a fan, expressing his deep gratitude for the support he has received throughout his career. The actor, who is set to appear in 'War 2' alongside Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani, reminisced about meeting his first ardent supporter even before his debut film hit the screens.

Jr NTR's career began 25 years ago with the film 'Ninnu Choodalani'. He recounted walking into the premiere alone, accompanied only by his parents. It was then that he met Mujeeb from Adoni, who introduced himself as a fan and declared he would "die" for him. This was before Jr NTR had any released movies.

The actor expressed how much that moment meant to him and how the support of his fans has been a blessing. He noted the evolution and multiplication of his fanbase, which has significantly shaped his career. Reflecting on his journey, Jr NTR acknowledged the unwavering support of his fans, who have stood by him through the years, helping him achieve his star status.

The 'War 2' event in Hyderabad was filled with excitement, with numerous fans gathering to see Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan together on stage. This film marks Jr NTR's Bollywood debut and entry into the spy universe. He expressed gratitude towards Hrithik Roshan for making him feel at home in Bollywood with a warm hug, which allayed his initial fears about being accepted as a South Indian actor.

During the event, Jr NTR also addressed a disruptive fan, firmly reminding them to be silent while he was speaking. He stated he would not hesitate to leave the stage if the interruptions continued.

'War 2', directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by YRF, is slated to clash with Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' at the box office. The film is part of the Yash Raj Spy Universe and is scheduled for release on August 14 in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.
