As Jr NTR celebrated his 41st birthday on Monday, his War 2 co-star Hrithik Roshan wished him on X (earlier known as Twitter). Hrithik Roshan wrote on X, “A very Happy Birthday to you Jr NTR. Here’s to another incredible spin around the sun. This time we spin together! I hope by the end of it the master is proud of the student in the kitchen! Haha ! Stay healthy. Stay blessed.” Jr NTR replied to Hrithik Roshan, “Hahaha… Thank you so much Sir. Had a congenial War on sets with you. Can’t wait to be back with you and spin around the Sun together… As they say when the student is ready the teacher will appear and you are ready.”
