Mumbai: As Ayaan Mukerji’s ‘War 2’ entered the Rs 100-crore club, Hrithik Roshan opened up about co-star Jr NTR’s tantrums on the film sets.
During the film’s promotion, the camaraderie between Hrithik and Jr NTR was quite evident and became the talk of the town.
Recently, ‘War 2’ makers shared a video in which Hrithik is seeing talking about Jr NTR’s tantrums during the picturisation of the song ‘Janaab-e-Aali.’
Hrithik shared that for 25 years, he was considered as an actor who had ‘too many tantrums’ about the flooring and the shoes while shooting for a dance sequence.
However, while working with Jr NTR, he realised that the latter had similar tantrums.
“I always thought that I was being looked at as the guy who had too many tantrums about the flooring and about the shoe and about how sticky the floor should be. And for the first time I had another performer in front of me (Jr NTR), who was asking about the same things and was checking the same things. He was checking the floor, the shoe, putting gum on the shoe. It validated my 25 years of throwing that tantrum,” Hrithik said.
In the behind-the-scenes video, Hrithik is seen approaching Jr NTR and pointing out, “Ek banda to mila mujhe who thinks the same way. Nobody else! I thought I am only mad.”
Opening up about his experience of working with Jr NTR, Hrithik said, “I was expecting a giant, of course. Because I have seen his work, and he is absolutely incredible. But working with him has been sheer joy. It has been inspiring. I have learnt a lot from him. It’s a lethal combination of gentleness, grace and strength. I sometimes want to step into his shoes and give the shot like him because he was all in. It’s 200 percent for every single shot that he gives.”
“It’s the beginning of a very very good friendship I hope,” he added.
Besides Hrithik and Jr NTR, ‘War 2’ also stars Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana, Anil Kapoor, Varun Badola, Arista Mehta, and others.
The film was released in theatres on August 14.
