Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Jr., popularly known as Jr. N.T.R., is making his Bollywood debut with Yash Raj Films' highly-anticipated spy-thriller, War 2. He is the antagonist opposite Hrithik Roshan, who headlined the first installment in 2019. On the occasion of the Telugu heartthrob's 41st birthday, his co-star had a unique and sweetest wish. 

Hrithik wished Jr. NTR in a fun manner. Starting the banter with a War 2 reference, the actor wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, "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 to Hrithik's wish and wrote, "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."
