Vizag: పిల్లల్ని అల్లరి మాన్పించే ప్రయత్నంలో తండ్రి మరణం!

Having faith in a film is natural, but overconfidence can often backfire. No matter how strong the content seems, the audience’s final verdict remains unpredictable. That’s why, before release, most filmmakers and actors avoid calling their project a “blockbuster.” At best, they say, “We’ve made a good film; we hope it does well.” Rarely does anyone go beyond that.

But in the case of War 2, Jr NTR broke that convention. At the pre-release event, he confidently raised his collar and declared: “Not just one, I’m raising both collars. No matter what people say, this film is going to be a banger.”

Such bold and flamboyant statements are usually associated with actors like Vijay Deverakonda or Vishwak Sen, but hearing it from a star of NTR’s stature surprised many. Some fans even felt reassured that the movie would live up to those words.

However, once the film released, reality struck. The initial hype didn’t sustain, and by the end of the first weekend, occupancy dropped steeply. Fans who remembered NTR’s confident claim were left questioning what made him so sure.

Perhaps he was carried away by the director’s conviction. Despite a teaser that didn’t create much buzz and songs that failed to go viral, NTR still chose to make that bold gesture. It turned out to be a risky move — one that now seems to have backfired, leaving both the star and his fans disappointed.
