Hrithik Roshan calls Jr NTR his ‘Favourite Co-Star’

Hrithik Roshan revealed that out of all of his co-stars, Jr NTR is his favourite.

The star attended the Rangotsav event in Atlanta, United States, where he talked about War 2.

Hrithik confessed: “I was very scared about how War 2 would turn out.

“But I have to say, I am extremely proud of this film. Just one song is left to shoot. The film is otherwise complete.

“That song is with Jr NTR and me, which I’m going back to shoot now, and I hope I do well.

“I’m nervous; he is amazing. This film is going to be bigger and better than War. That’s my promise to you.”

Hrithik also revealed his excitement about working with Jr NTR.

He continued: “My favourite co-star is actually Jr NTR.

“I just did War 2 with him and he’s amazing, he’s brilliant, and he’s such a fine teammate.

“I think we’ve done something really good, and I can’t wait for you guys to watch it, War 2, August 14!”

In War 2, Jr NTR is believed to be playing the antagonist, promising a new threat for Hrithik’s Major Kabir Dhaliwal.

At the same event, Hrithik spoke about directing Krrish 4.

In March 2025, it was announced that Hrithik Roshan would be directing the film.

In a statement, his father Rakesh Roshan said:

“I am passing the baton of the director of Krrish 4 to my son, Hrithik Roshan, who has lived, breathed and dreamt about this franchise since its inception with me.

“Hrithik has a clear and a very ambitious vision of taking Krrish’s journey forward with the audience for the next decades.

“I couldn’t be more prouder to see him wear the director’s hat for a film that means the world to us as a family.

“Krrish has entertained audiences the world over and Hrithik will now reveal the next chapters of this superhero saga and take the vision I created so many years ago to greater heights.

“It brings me so much joy to see someone like Aditya Chopra as the producer of Krrish 4.

“It was he who convinced Hrithik to sit in the director’s chair.”

“Adi and Yash Raj Films have the knowledge, understanding and technological might to produce this film and add great value to this project.

“Hrithik and Adi coming together as a producer-director pair with me behind them is a rare and deliciously creative combination.

“I am sure they will turn Krrish 4 into a theatrical experience that has never been made in India.

“The dream is to make India proud globally with a larger-than-life experience like Krrish 4.”

Giving his honest thoughts about making his directorial debut, Hrithik said:

“For how nervous I am, I need all the encouragement I possibly can.”

When fans cheered, he responded: “I’ll take all this love back with me.”
