NTR not the first choice for War2

Tollywood movie lovers got excited when it came out that Young Tiger NTR will be part of War2. War 2 happens to be the sequel to the hit film War which featured Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff under the direction of Siddharth Anand. War 2 will be directed by Ayan Mukherji of Brahmastra fame.

NTR and Hrithik Roshan will lock horns. But inside talk is NTR was not the first choice for War2. The makers first planned to cast Young Rebel Star Prabhas. But for some reason, Prabhas rejected due to his busy commitments.

Later the makers planned to cast Rowdy Star Vijay Devarakonda. However, Vijay Devarakonda for some reason decided against it. Finally when it came to NTR, he lapped up to the offer. Now reports have it that the makers are planning to rope in Alia Bhatt as the females lead in the film.

Alia Bhatt and NTR shared screen presence in Rajamouli's RRR. It is not clear with whom Alia will be paired in War 2.
