The highly anticipated teaser of War 2 was finally unveiled today, coinciding with NTR Jr.’s birthday. However, the initial response from fans and audiences has been underwhelming. While the teaser introduced the primary characters and set the tone, many felt it lacked the “wow” factor expected from a big-budget action spectacle. In particular, some VFX shots appeared poorly executed, prompting social media users to label them as “troll-worthy.”
In recent years, following the massive success of Baahubali, several Telugu actors have begun collaborating with Bollywood production houses for pan-India projects. One notable example was Prabhas’ Adipurush, which faced harsh criticism for its subpar visual effects and overall direction. Director Om Raut was heavily trolled for his poor portrayal of Prabhas in the film.
Now, similar concerns are being raised about Ayan Mukerji, the director of War 2. Many netizens are accusing him and the makers of not giving proper attention to NTR’s character and screen presence, despite the actor’s massive fanbase and star power.
A pattern seems to be emerging where Telugu actors receive more respectful and impactful treatment under Tollywood filmmakers. Despite Bollywood’s large-scale budgets, the inconsistent handling of VFX and character depth raises questions about how much care is being taken to do justice to Telugu stars.
Fans hope Bollywood filmmakers take these concerns seriously and ensure better quality and attention to detail in future collaborations.
