The buzz surrounding War 2 has reached a fever pitch, and at the heart of this frenzy is none other than Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Jr., popularly known as NTR. One of the most celebrated actors in Indian cinema, NTR commands a fan following that stretches far beyond India’s borders. His every big-screen appearance turns into a festival for movie lovers, and this time, the celebration is bigger than ever.
With War 2 set to release on August 14, 2025, ticket pre-sales have already kicked off in style, and Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are leading the charge. The demand for tickets in these states is skyrocketing, with both Hindi and Telugu versions witnessing record-breaking advance bookings. This wave of enthusiasm is a testament to the unconditional love and loyalty NTR enjoys among his home-state fans. In fact, industry trackers suggest that in many theatres across the two states, prime shows for the first weekend are already sold out.
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, is part of YRF’s ambitious Spy Universe and pairs NTR with Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan for the first time, along with Kiara Advani in a pivotal role. The film’s high-octane action, star power, and grand scale are setting the stage for one of the year’s most anticipated blockbusters. With NTR making his big Bollywood debut, the excitement is palpable not only in the South but also in North India and overseas markets.

But War 2 is just the beginning. In 2026, NTR will headline NTRXNEEL, directed by KGF fame Prashanth Neel, scheduled for release on June 25, 2026. Industry insiders already predict it could be the biggest cinematic event of next year. Adding to the anticipation, NTR is also in talks with Trivikram Srinivas for a mythological epic, where he may portray Lord Karthikeya (Murugan), offering fans yet another side of his versatility.
With back-to-back monumental projects, NTR’s star power shows no signs of dimming. As War 2 ticket counters light up across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, one thing is clear—NTR Mania is here to stay, and it’s only getting bigger.
