He further thanked the team, saying, “A big thanks to the man of masses @tarak9999 anna, greek god @iHrithik ji, director #AyanMukerji and Team @yrf for making us a part of this action spectacle and bringing the experience for the Telugu audience. @advani_kiara #YRFSpyUniverse.”
In a previous conversation with Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt, Jr NTR discussed some creative differences he had with director Ayan Mukerji during filming. He mentioned, “When I was shooting for War 2, Ayan did not know what was going to come. Because he was trying to bring it out from me, that’s how this was going to come out. I told him, ‘Ayan, I am very instinctive; kuch na kuch aa jayega (something will come).’ Now, he is not used to doing this at all; he loves prep, and I am completely the opposite. And then Adi Sir was there in between, who said, ‘It’s ok, it’s ok, I get it.’”
He elaborated, “Too much prep doesn’t give you the chance to explore yourself. South Indian films (sets) have always been chaotically organized. Like, if the prints have to come tomorrow, the team will still ask for one extra hour because they want to make some changes in the edit. The clock is ticking; the prints have to be delivered, but you are still working on the film.”
War 2 is set to hit theaters on August 14.
