RGV: Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma sparked outrage online after he shared a controversial post on X (formerly Twitter). He uploaded a bikini photo of Kiara Advani from the War 2 teaser, which many users found offensive and objectifying.
Soon after War 2’s teaser dropped, marking Jr. NTR’s 42nd birthday and his Bollywood debut alongside Hrithik Roshan, RGV began posting his opinions on the film. In one now-deleted post, he wrote, “Instead of our countries and societies, if the war between Hrithik and Jr. NTR is on who gets her bk, then 2 will be a b*buster.” The remark triggered heavy backlash, forcing him to delete the post. Although RGV removed the content from his official account, screenshots have continued to circulate widely, keeping the controversy alive.
Take a look at the photo:
War 2
The sixth game in YRF’s expansive spy universe is War 2. On August 14, 2025, it will be released in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi. Kiara talked about the movie and how War 2 holds a particular place in her heart. “There are a lot of firsts in this,” she posted on social media alongside a video. The first action movie and the first YRF movie. Let’s start with these two incredible heroes. First partnership with Ayan. Naturally, the first bikini photo.”
Hrithik Roshan’s Response to the teaser:
In the official statement, Hrithik said, “War is a really special franchise for me. So, seeing the appreciation that War 2’s teaser is getting, seeing how people are pouring their love for NTR, Kiara, Ayan, for me, and the entire team, makes me really happy. It is not easy making films of this scale, and we have given our best to make War 2 an action spectacle for people.”
