Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR to star in War 2?

Reportedly helmed by Ayan Mukerji, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR are rumoured to be sharing the screen space for the first time in the sequel of action-thriller War. Produced under the Yash Raj Films banner, Jr NTR might play an antagonist role in the film. A source close to the production shared with Pinkvilla, "While the final script is still being developed, Jr. NTR’s character in War 2 will have some negative shades, which will add an interesting layer to the overall story." 

War 2 is expected to go on floors by the end of this year. It will be part of YRF's spy universe which includes blockbuster films like Ek Tha Tiger series, War and Pathaan. 

Coming back to Jr NTR, the actor has thanked his family, friends, well-wishers and fellow fraternity members for making his day special with their birthday wishes. He has shared a post on his Instagram handle and in the caption, he wrote, "Grateful." Soon after he shared the post, his RRR co-star Alia Bhatt commented, "Happiest bday," followed by heart emoticons. Check out the post below:
