Hrithik Roshan pens heartfelt birthday wish for ‘War 2’ co-star Jr NTR; ‘RRR’ star responds

Telugu actor Jr NTR celebrated his birthday on May 20, and his ‘War 2’ co-star Hrithik Roshan had a special message for him. Fans enjoyed seeing the Bollywood actor wish the Tollywood star, though many were puzzled by the message, which appeared to be an inside joke between the two.

Hrithik took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, ‘A very Happy Birthday to you @tarak9999! Here's to another incredible spin around the sun. This time we spin together! I hope by the end of it the master is proud of the student in the kitchen! Haha! Stay healthy. Stay blessed.’

Jr NTR replied, ‘Hahaha… Thank you so much Sir. Had a congenial War on sets with you. Can’t wait to be back with you and spin around the Sun together… As they say when the student is ready the teacher will appear and you are ready.’

Fans were puzzled by Hrithik's reference to the master, student, and the kitchen. One fan commented, ‘Master is proud of the student in the kitchen...#War2,’ sharing a meme that asked, ‘What’s happening here?’ Another wrote, ‘Student evaru, Teacher evaru ra? Picchekkutundi. (Who’s the student and who’s the teacher? I’m confused)’ One fan speculated, ‘So you mean Hrithik is the student and you are the teacher?’

Some fans also wondered why Jr NTR’s look from ‘War 2’ wasn’t released on his birthday.

About ‘War 2’

Ayan Mukerji has taken over as the director of ‘War 2’. The first film, ‘War’, was directed by Siddharth Anand. Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films (YRF) is producing the sequel, which will feature Hrithik Roshan facing off against Jr NTR.

However, their tweets suggest a student-teacher dynamic both in the film and off-screen. The film is currently being shot in Mumbai, and photos of the two actors filming outdoors have been leaked. Hrithik will reprise his role as RAW agent Kabir, but Jr NTR's role remains to be revealed.
