Fans are very worried and have speculated about NTR Jr.'s recent public appearance as the pan-Indian superstar prepares for his eagerly awaited Bollywood debut in Ayan Mukerji's War 2. NTR is well-known for his dynamic on-screen persona and constant fitness, but just weeks before the movie's premiere, his slender and obviously worn-out appearance had already become a hot topic of conversation.
NTR's startling change
During a condolence visit to veteran actor Kota Srinivasa Rao's home this past Sunday, NTR, who has kept up a well-built physique since his dramatic makeover for Yamadonga back in 2007, looked unusually thin. Fans and onlookers were clearly shocked by the actor's dramatic weight loss and worn-out appearance.
Actors frequently change their bodies to fit their parts, but NTR's most recent appearance seemed more drastic than anticipated. There were rumours that this change could be related to his next project, Dragon, which is tentatively titled and is being directed by Prashanth Neel. But rather than inspiring awe, the magnitude of his weight loss has raised concerns.
Admirers respond to the glimpse of War 2
In the fast-paced action-drama War 2, which also stars Hrithik Roshan, NTR is expected to play a key role. Even though the movie has been making waves, opinions on NTR's appearance in the promotional materials, particularly the most recent preview, have been divided. While some admirers commended his commitment, many others were alarmed by his tired and pale appearance and questioned whether the makeover was required.
His recent transformation has raised questions about whether it's a performance decision or something more personal, given his history of reinventing himself for every role.

What will happen to NTR next?
NTR will resume filming Prashanth Neel's Dragon, a gritty action thriller, after War 2 is released. To further broaden his diverse filmography, he is also working on a mythological drama with Trivikram Srinivas.
Fans are hoping that the actor's recent appearance is a part of a bigger plan because he has so many powerful projects in the works. Many, however, are advising him to put his health first while also anxiously awaiting information regarding his transformation. All eyes are on NTR as War 2's release date draws near, both for his Bollywood debut and to see what this new stage of his career may hold.
