NTR Breaks Silence Rumors Crushed With One Answer
The movie’s mixed response, along with controversies and constant rumors, dragged him into the spotlight for reasons beyond cinema. Yet, the actor chose a path very few stars take: silence.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 23 Aug 2025 2:13 PM ISTJr.NTR’s big Bollywood entry with War 2 was expected to create a storm. Fans, trade experts, and even Bollywood circles thought the film would cement his pan-India status. But after the release, things did not turn out the way he or his fans had hoped. The movie’s mixed response, along with controversies and constant rumors, dragged him into the spotlight for reasons beyond cinema. Yet, the actor chose a path very few stars take: silence.
From political mudslinging to personal digs, NTR has faced them all in the last few weeks. A ruling party MLA’s harsh comments turned into a heated debate, with fans demanding an apology. Even then, Tarak preferred to stay calm and not reply. On the film’s side, his close aide S Naga Vamsi faced heavy financial loss after buying Telugu rights of War 2. Instead of addressing the issue publicly, NTR decided to remain tight-lipped, letting speculation run its course.
Rumors didn’t stop there. Bollywood gossip mills claimed Hrithik Roshan unfollowed NTR on social media, adding more fuel to the fire. Stories about a possible YRF solo project and discussions with top studios also began making rounds. Fans grew restless when they saw NTR’s sudden weight loss, sparking concern. But the actor quietly clarified that it was for his next film with Prashanth Neel. His silence, instead of words, became his strategy.
Despite the failures of War 2 and Arjun S/o Vyjayanthi, NTR seems unfazed. His raised collar moments may have backfired, but his calmness is winning respect. For every rumor and every whisper, he has only one reply, silence. Now, he is preparing to dive back into work with Neel’s Dragon in September, ready to roar again on his own terms.
