As May 20 marked the birthday of Telugu superstar Jr NTR, his “War 2” co-star, Hrithik Roshan, extended a heartfelt birthday wish. While fans rejoiced at the cross-industry camaraderie, some found themselves scratching their heads over the enigmatic message, sparking speculation about a shared inside joke between the two actors.
On Monday evening, Hrithik shared his birthday wishes for Jr NTR on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Wishing you a fantastic birthday @tarak9999! Let’s embark on another thrilling journey around the sun together. Here’s hoping our culinary adventures impress the master chef! Stay blessed and stay healthy on this special day.”

In response, Jr NTR humorously expressed his gratitude, stating, “Hahaha… Thank you, Sir. Our camaraderie on the sets of ‘War 2’ was truly congenial. Looking forward to reuniting with you and embarking on another journey around the sun together. They say when the student is prepared, the teacher appears, and it seems you’ve arrived just in time.”
Despite Hrithik’s playful reference to the “master” and the “student” in the kitchen, fans were left puzzled, with one commenting, “Master is proud of the student in the kitchen…#War2,” alongside a bewildered meme. Another fan questioned, “Who’s the student and who’s the teacher, I’m confused,” while one fan attempted to decode the message, speculating, “So You Mean Hrithik Is Student And You Are Teacher?” Additionally, some fans expressed disappointment over the absence of Jr NTR’s “War 2” look reveal on his birthday.
As “War 2” enters production, Ayan Mukerji steps into the director’s chair, succeeding Siddharth Anand from the first installment. Under the banner of Aditya Chopra’s Yash Raj Films (YRF), the sequel promises an electrifying face-off between Hrithik and Jr NTR. Amidst ongoing shooting in Mumbai, leaked outdoor set images have provided fans with a tantalizing glimpse of the action. While Hrithik is set to reprise his role as the formidable RAW agent Kabir, speculation mounts over Jr NTR’s mysterious character, adding to the intrigue surrounding the highly anticipated sequel.
