The rivalry between two prominent groups in the Telugu film industry – the Mega and Nandamuri families – has been ongoing, and now Jr. NTR, one of the biggest stars in Telugu cinema, is set to face two major challenges as he gears up for the release of his upcoming film War 2.

The first challenge stems from a section of the Telugu Twitter community, especially the Yuvatha (youth) group, who often engage in online campaigns based on their varying interests. As a highly anticipated multistarrer, War 2 naturally opens up more room for social media criticism, and NTR’s fandom will likely be targeted more intensely. This kind of online attack is common for top heroes, but for NTR, the stakes are higher due to the film's wide appeal.

The second challenge comes from Bollywood, where War 2 features Hrithik Roshan. As is typical in multistarrers, Bollywood PR machinery may focus on elevating their own stars, potentially at the cost of NTR's image. This could result in a deliberate push to overshadow his presence, especially since War 2 is a huge collaboration between the two film industries. NTR and his team will have to be exceptionally vigilant in handling these PR battles.

For NTR, these challenges represent a difficult phase ahead of the film’s release. He will need to navigate the complex dynamics of social media and media coverage, while also maintaining his strong fanbase. To succeed, the team will need to stay sharp, with a proactive approach to counteract any negative narratives that may arise. The road to success for War 2 will depend not only on the film’s content but also on how well these battles are fought in the public sphere.
