War 2 director Ayan Mukerji, who had attended the recently held War 2 event in Hyderabad, has now cleared all doubts about Jr. NTR's entry in the film.

Ayan Mukerji on Jr. NTR's entry in War 2
When asked to clarify about Jr. NTR's entry point in War 2, Ayan did not dodge the question and hit straight to the point. He said, "We're smart enough to not make a movie where he comes at interval point. That much sense we have. Everything else, now, you have to see the film and discover it." With that, Ayan laughed off the matter. The filmmaker did not clarify whether the Telugu star's entry would be after half an hour of the film. For the uninititaed, Jr. NTR's entry in War 2 is through his dance face-off with Hrithik Roshan in Jannabe Ali.
What caused the speculations about Jr. NTR's entry?
Back when Hrithik Roshan's War was released, the actor entered the plot first. He was introduced as Agent Kabir. It was only after his introduction that Tiger Shroff's Agent Vikram entered the frame. That took half an hour for the second male lead to enter the movie. This could be one of the reasons why it was speculated that Jr. NTR might also have a late entry in War 2. Nonetheless, that might not be the case since it is a fresh story with a new director.
War 2 advance booking day 1 update
War 2's advance booking day 1 suggests that the movie would earn highest from the Hindi belt. The movie took time to pick up in the Telugu version, but by the end of the day, Jr. NTR's fans also helped the movie earn over Rs. 2 crore in advance booking already! Although off to a good start, War 2 is faced up against a big challenge in Rajinikanth's Coolie. Thus, it would be interesting to see which movie could ultimately win the Box Office war.
