Following the success of Salman Khan and superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s Tiger 3, Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe has now expanded to include War 2. In the 2019 action film’s follow-up, Hrithik Roshan will play Kabir again. Tiger Shroff, who portrayed a pivotal role in the first installment, is not present in this one. In the action thriller, Jr. NTR, star of RRR, will play the antagonist.
In War 2, is Jagapathi Babu portraying Jr. NTR’s father?

We questioned the seasoned actor whether the rumors were accurate during an exclusive interview with Zoom. “I am also very excited, but it’s not there,” he said. It has nothing to do with me. What’s going on there is unknown to me. I have also heard this rumor, but not with me just yet.”
He reminisced about his time spent working with Tarak and added, “In any case, he’s a riot. I love working with him so much.”

Is Jagapathi Babu eager to take on the part?
“I became thrilled as soon as I heard this. I thought, “Hopefully so.” See you later. Isn’t every day a dream? Jagapathi continued.
