Hrithik Roshan, who is currently touring the United States to celebrate 25 illustrious years in the Indian entertainment industry, recently left fans buzzing with some heartwarming revelations during an event in Atlanta. As part of the promotional wave leading to War 2, Hrithik not only confirmed the film’s much-anticipated release date but also praised his co-star, Jr NTR, in glowing terms.

When asked about his favourite co-star, the Greek God of Bollywood didn’t hesitate before naming Jr NTR. “Jr NTR is my favourite co-star. He is amazing. He is excellent. He is such a fine teammate, man. I can’t wait for you guys to watch it. War 2 on August 14,” Hrithik said, sparking a wave of excitement across social media platforms. With this statement, Hrithik effectively confirmed that War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, is set to hit theatres on the eve of India’s Independence Day, promising fans a blockbuster festive release.
But it wasn’t just about the on-screen chemistry. Hrithik took it a step further by sharing a lesser-known facet of Jr NTR’s personality—his culinary talent. In another widely circulated video, Hrithik can be seen raving about NTR’s cooking skills: “NTR is an amazing cook. He is the best chef in the world.” The comment has led fans to wonder—did Jr NTR cook for Hrithik during the making of War 2? Judging by Hrithik’s enthusiasm, it sure seems like it.
This isn’t the first time the Devara star’s cooking prowess has come to light. During his recent promotional tour in Japan for Devara, Jr NTR expressed his deep love for food and shared an interesting revelation: if he weren’t an actor, he’d love to be reborn as a chef. His passion for cooking has often been witnessed by his peers and friends. While hosting Bigg Boss Telugu, he cooked for the housemates; he once whipped up a pizza for veteran actor Prakash Raj at his farmhouse, a memory Prakash fondly shared on social media. On the sets of Billa, which starred Prabhas, Jr NTR delighted the crew with his homemade tomato chutney in Malaysia.
With Jr NTR’s magnetic screen presence and off-screen warmth, it’s no wonder he’s winning hearts everywhere—from the sets of War 2 to fan events across continents. As fans eagerly await this massive cinematic collaboration between Hrithik and Jr NTR, it’s clear that the bond they’ve built goes far beyond the screen—marked by mutual admiration, teamwork, and perhaps a shared love for food.
War 2 is shaping up to be more than just an action-packed entertainer. It’s also a story of camaraderie, cultural celebration, and delicious surprises behind the scenes. Independence Day just got a lot more exciting.
