In a move that has set social media meltdown, Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan, who reprises his iconic role of Kabir in the hugely anticipated YRF Spy Universe’s next offering War 2, took to his social media platforms to announce that he is planning an explosive birthday celebration for NTR on May 20, 2025.

Hrithik’s post read: “Hey @tarak9999, think you know what to expect on the 20th of May this year? Trust me you have NO idea what’s in store. Ready?”
