NTR’s YRF Solo Film Stalled After ‘War 2’ Fallout
Shifting the actor’s focus back to his project with Prashanth Neel
The box-office collapse of War 2 has not only rattled Bollywood’s big league but also shaken the very foundation of Yash Raj Films’ much-hyped Spy Universe.
In the fallout, helmer Aditya Chopra has reportedly shelved his ambitious solo-hero project with NTR Jr, a companion spin-off originally designed to follow War 2. According to a source close to the development, “The idea was to introduce Tarak’s character alongside Hrithik Roshan in War 2 and then build a standalone film around him. But no one anticipated War 2 to crash so badly. With its failure, the solo-hero film with NTR has been put on hold indefinitely.”
For now, NTR Jr is shifting focus entirely to his high-octane collaboration with Prashanth Neel, which insiders believe could become his next big career-defining move.
