NTR’s Bollywood debut in War 2 isn’t just creating buzz, it’s shaking things up. Hrithik Roshan returns as Kabir from the first War, and NTR officially joins the YRF Spy Universe. Expectations are sky-high.
What’s now grabbing attention is the report that NTR might get 75–80 minutes of screen time in War 2. That would even beat his 74-minute presence in RRR.

For NTR to have that much time, the film itself would need to be close to three hours long. Hrithik is also expected to have significant screen time. Add other characters having some screen space, and the runtime becomes a big question mark.
So far, YRF Spy Universe films have followed a tight 150–160 minutes format. But with Animal and the Pushpa: The Rule proving that longer films can work, War 2 might break that pattern.

A leaked WAR 2 clip of Hrithik recently using a Japanese sword added to the hype. But it’s NTR’s role that’s creating real frenzy in Telugu states. Distributors and producers are in a bidding war for the Telugu theatrical rights.
The starting quote is said to be over 100 crores. That shows the confidence and craze around NTR in Telugu states.
