The video has angered netizens, who not only questioned the fan’s common sense but also the theatre’s lack of security measures.

War 2 marks Jr NTR’s Bollywood debut.

With Hrithik Roshan-headlined War 2 finally out in theatres, Jr NTR has marked his long-awaited Bollywood debut. While it is common for fans of South superstars to celebrate film releases with grandeur and much splendour, the release of War 2 led some Jr NTR fans to go overboard in their expression of excitement.

A viral video shows a Jr NTR fan using a flamethrower to celebrate the actor’s entry scene in War 2. As fans celebrated the actor’s entry with confetti and posters, a certain fan brought out a flamethrower and lit it inside the theatre.

The video has angered netizens, who not only questioned the fan’s common sense but also the theatre’s lack of security measures. Some even believe that this was a ‘PR move’ as no theatre would allow fans to carry flamethrowers inside halls.

Previously, as fans celebrated the release of War 2, a viral video showed one fan putting a ‘blood tika’ on Jr NTR’s poster. The video showed a fan pricking his thumb with what looked like a pin. The fan then proceeded to put the blood on Jr NTR’s poster like a tika.

While fans often opt for unconventional ways to celebrate their favourite actors, these videos have left many netizens angry. It is common for fans to offer aarti, garlands, milk, sweets and even dance on the streets to celebrate the release of their favourite actors’ films. However, these fans’ actions have been met with great concern. Jr NTR is yet to react to the videos.

War 2: Plot, Review

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the latest chapter in Yash Raj Films’ ever-expanding Spy Universe. Hrithik Roshan returns as Major Kabir Dhaliwal, but this time the stakes are even higher — Kabir has gone rogue, emerging as India’s most dangerous villain.

In his much-awaited Bollywood debut, Jr NTR steps in as elite agent Vikram, tasked with bringing Kabir down. What follows is a globe-trotting cat-and-mouse chase spanning multiple countries, punctuated by jaw-dropping stunts, tense face-offs, and an emotional undercurrent.

Part of our review reads: “At 2 hours 50 minutes, War 2 tries to go full throttle but often skids into chaos. A thriller of this scale definitely needed crisper editing. Instead, what we get is a bunch of long-drawn flashbacks that dilute the pace, stripping the film of any solid edge-of-the-seat, nail-biting moment. But what needs to be truly spoken about are its action sequences. One thing is clear – Kabir and Vikram/Rahu are immortal. Nothing can kill them. Bullets, swords, fire, icicles, nothing. Most importantly, they can fly. They fly over land and water.”
