The inclusion of NTR in the Spy Universe of Yash Raj Films has generated a lot of excitement among Telugu viewers. After the release of RRR, fans of NTR and Ram Charan expressed their desire to see their favorite stars in bigger films on a grander scale. NTR's official entry into Bollywood with War 2 has fulfilled this wish. Previous films in the Spy Universe, such as Tiger and Pathaan, had surprise cameos. However, this will not be the case for War 2, which will solely focus on Hrithik, NTR, and Kiara Advani. The decision to exclude cameos is due to the underwhelming response to Shah Rukh Khan's cameo in Tiger 3, in contrast to the successful appearance of Salman in SRK's Pathaan.

Since War 2 already features two pan-India stars, producer Aditya Chopra and director Ayan Mukherji have decided not to divert the audience's attention with guest appearances. The lukewarm reception of Tiger 3 has reportedly made the filmmakers cautious about including any unnecessary surprises. Furthermore, it is rumored that the highly anticipated Tiger Vs Pathaan, which requires a substantial budget, has been put on hold for now. A remarkable tale must accompany the collaboration of Bollywood icons Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan in a captivating spy thriller. As the enthusiasm for Tiger 3 fell short of expectations, the creators redirected their complete attention towards War 2, which is set to hit theaters in January 2025.
