The combination of NTR and Hrithik Roshan for War 2 excited everyone. This biggie was expected to pave the way for more such combos from North and South. However, the disastrous result of War 2 made the star combos dead.
With Tollywood stars expanding their market to all corners of Indian and global audiences. The Hindi stars and production houses started to approach Telugu stars for their franchise films or big films.
Prabhas’s Adipurush was planned in that way, which became a disaster. After a few years, with War 2, YRF brought Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan and Telugu big star NTR. Everyone was excited with this massive collaboration and hoped that its success will make a big path for many such collaborations in the near future.
But after War 2’s release, everything got changed, especially the film, which received a unanimous bad response from Telugu audiences.
So, with this, the Telugu stars, including Tier-2 heroes, are reportedly directly rejecting the Bollywood offers and collaborations. All the expected star combos are now gone in the air after War 2.
The makers of big Hindi films like Don 3, Dhoom 4, and a few more approached the Tollywood stars, but the stars rejected them without any hesitation, as they do not want to lose Telugu audiences for the sake of the Bollywood market after seeing the result of films like Adipurush and now War 2.
