Sequel expectations

The original film ended on a cliffhanger, leaving fans eager for a resolution. Both NTR and Siva had hinted at a sequel being inevitable, and now the makers have confirmed it. The first movie also marked the Telugu debuts of Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, alongside veterans such as Prakash Raj, Srikanth, Shine Tom Chacko, Narain, Kalaiyarasan, and Murali Sharma.
Career focus
NTR to focus on Telugu films after 'War 2'
After the disappointing performance of War 2, which also starred Hrithik Roshan, NTR is reportedly reassessing his career moves in Bollywood and focusing on Telugu cinema. Trade analyst Ramesh Bala told India Today, "I think his next will be a Telugu movie." "He has to collaborate with a strong director, either a big Telugu or Tamil director." "He should do a film that has mass appeal like Pushpa."
