The disappointing box-office performance of War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, has left trade circles stunned. Expected to be a massive hit under YRF’s Spy Universe, the film’s mixed reception has prompted Jr NTR to carefully rethink his Bollywood journey.
Sources suggest the actor is now turning his attention back to Telugu cinema, where his mass appeal remains unmatched. According to trade analyst Ramesh Bala, Jr NTR’s safest path forward lies in strong collaborations with established Telugu or Tamil directors to deliver films with pan-India resonance.
Industry insiders reveal that Jr NTR is scrutinizing scripts more cautiously, aiming for projects that balance mass spectacle with emotional depth. After the global phenomenon of RRR, the actor is aware that audience expectations have risen dramatically, making each of his choices pivotal.
The biggest buzz surrounds his collaboration with director Prashanth Neel, tentatively titled Dragon. Neel, known for the KGF franchise, is expected to present Jr NTR in a powerful avatar tailored for pan-India audiences. Analysts believe this film could help the actor reclaim momentum lost after War 2.
Speculation continues over the fate of Devara 2, Koratala Siva’s ambitious sequel. While no official announcement has been made, trade reports suggest its future hinges on how NTR’s partnership with Neel plays out. For now, fans eagerly await his return in a role that re-establishes his dominance in Indian cinema. Despite War 2’s stumble, Jr NTR’s star power remains unshaken, and his next moves could redefine his career trajectory.
