A vocal Jr NTR supporter has taken to social media to express disappointment over the actor’s role in the much-hyped War 2, accusing the makers of failing to showcase his full potential.
In a scathing post on X, the fan wrote: “#War2 is a crime against #NTRJr fans. SouthSuperstarsShouldStop trusting bollyDirectors, clearly they've no vision. #JrNTR doesn’t get Even A Single moment to shine in this Extremely Long assault to the senses. Only #HrithikRoshan somewhere Tries To Keep it afloat. 1 ★ star. #War2Review.”
The comment reflects growing dissatisfaction among some sections of Jr NTR’s fanbase, who feel that Bollywood directors often fail to capitalize on the charisma and talent of South Indian stars.
Despite the film’s massive pre-release buzz, particularly because of the collaboration between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, the fan alleged that the Telugu superstar’s presence was overshadowed in the narrative.
While War 2 is part of YRF’s blockbuster Spy Universe and features high-octane action sequences, the criticism suggests that the makers may have missed an opportunity to fully leverage Jr NTR’s proven box office draw and screen presence - especially in the Telugu market, where his recent films have delivered good openings.
This reaction also underscores a broader conversation among South cinema audiences about whether their favorite stars are given meaningful screen time and impactful roles when collaborating with Bollywood filmmakers.
With the film now in theaters, it remains to be seen whether the overall audience reception will align with this fan’s sharp critique or balance it out with praise for its action spectacle.
