The promotional war between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR for their upcoming film War 2 has taken an entertaining turn. In a unique and cheeky move, Jr NTR sent a massive moving billboard truck right outside Hrithik Roshan’s residence in Mumbai — and it came with a bold warning.
On Tuesday, Hrithik took to Instagram to share the surprise, revealing the striking billboard featuring Jr NTR’s intense look from the film. The billboard read, “Ghungroo toot jaayenge par hum se yeh war jeet nahi paaoge,” a clever dig referencing Hrithik’s hit song Ghungroo from War (2019). Sharing the post, Hrithik responded in kind: “Okay @jrntr, now you’ve taken it too far by sending an actual BILLBOARD under my house! Alright, challenge accepted. Remember you brought this upon yourself. #9DaysToWar2.”
The friendly rivalry has certainly sparked excitement among fans eagerly awaiting War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji. The film brings together two titans of Indian cinema — Hrithik Roshan reprising his role as Kabir, and Jr NTR making his explosive Bollywood debut as Nataraj. Set in the shadowy and intense world of espionage, the movie promises adrenaline-pumping action, sleek chases, and a gripping plot that pits the two characters in a high-stakes duel.
Also starring Kiara Advani in a pivotal role, War 2 is expected to expand the ever-growing YRF Spy Universe. The film is also said to strategically set the stage for Alpha, the next major installment in the franchise, featuring Alia Bhatt in the lead. While speculation about Alia’s cameo in War 2 continues to circulate, there is still no official confirmation.

The film recently received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), with a reported runtime of 2 hours and 53 minutes (173 minutes), excluding the post-credit sequence, which is expected to be certified separately.
With just days to go, the playful billboard stunt has only intensified the anticipation around War 2, promising a cinematic clash that fans won’t forget. War 2 is set to release in theatres worldwide on August 14, 2025, just in time to set the Independence Day box office on fire.
