Clarifying the Misleading Injury News of Junior NTR on the Set of War 2
Fans are eagerly anticipating the collaboration of their favorite stars, Hrithik Roshan and Junior NTR, in the upcoming mega-budget film ‘War 2.’ Recently, rumors circulated that Junior NTR suffered an injury on the film’s set, leading to speculation that he might need two months of recovery. However, sources from TV9 Hindi Digital have confirmed that these reports are entirely false.
Unpacking the Injury Rumors
According to initial reports, an accident occurred while Junior NTR was preparing for an action scene, causing significant damage to his hand. However, it has been clarified that he was not even in Mumbai on the day in question, casting doubt on the truthfulness of the injury claims and the subsequent postponement of the film’s shooting schedule.
What Really Happened?
Reports also claimed that Junior NTR had received medical advice to rest for two months, impacting the film’s shooting timeline. Yet, a source directly linked to the production dismissed these claims. It turns out that while Junior NTR did sustain an injury, it occurred approximately a week prior and not on the set of ‘War 2.’ The injury took place at a gym in Hyderabad rather than during filming.
