In War 2, the original script planned for NTR’s character to die. However, NTR personally intervened, explaining that the Telugu audience would not accept his death.
According to the story, his character was supposed to be killed during a counter attack mission while attempting to assassinate the Prime Minister.
In Hrithik Roshan’s 'War' series, the creative pattern is that Hrithik’s character survives, while others die in each installment as planned.
For War 2, NTR’s character was specifically written to meet his end, marking a major turning point in the narrative.
Yet, under NTR’s influence, this ending was changed. Instead of dying, his character survives the climactic battle, creating the possibility of his return in future installments.
This decision altered the original dramatic impact of the finale but also kept a door open for his reappearance in the War universe.
