Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan recently opened up about his bond with War 2 co-star Jr NTR, calling it the start of a great friendship. The camaraderie was the highlight of the film’s song Janaab-e-Aali,
and both stars left everyone impressed with their dance moves. Now, the makers have shared a video that gives a sneak-peek into the making of Janaab-e-Aali. In the video, Hrithik gushed over his co-star Jr NTR, and said that he was amazed to see a performer who was asking the same questions as him on set. Hrithik said that for 25 years, he was looked at as the guy who had ‘too many tantrums’ about the flooring and the shoes while dancing. However, he realized that even Jr NTR was asking the same questions, making his years of ‘tantrums’ feel validated!

Hrithik Roshan said, “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.”
In the behind-the-scenes video from War 2 set, we see Hrithik approaching Jr NTR, and pointing out how he finally found someone else who is also asking the same questions! “Ek banda to mila mujhe who thinks the same way. Nobody else! I thought I am only mad,” he told his co-star.

Hrithik opened up about his experience working with Jr NTR, and 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,” added Hrithik.
