A Japanese woman has taken her admiration for Jr NTR to the next level by flying all the way to India just to watch his latest release, War 2. Her video, which shows her arriving at the airport wearing a T-shirt with NTR’s image, has now gone viral and is being widely shared by fans across social media.
When questioned at the airport about the reason for her visit, she simply said: “I love Jr NTR. I came here to watch his film.” This extraordinary gesture has left many people surprised, while NTR’s fans are celebrating her dedication, calling it a proud moment for their star.
The incident highlights how Jr NTR’s popularity has crossed borders, particularly in Japan, where his performance in RRR earned him a massive following. That film not only connected with Indian audiences but also collected nearly five times more than earlier Indian films released in Japan, proving his wide appeal. Since then, several Japanese fans have been making trips to India to see him or his films, with one earlier video of a fan calling him “Anna” becoming a viral hit.
Although War 2, which stars NTR alongside Hrithik Roshan, opened decently in the Telugu states, it has not entirely met expectations, with trade circles describing its overall performance as disappointing. However, the support and love from international fans like this Japanese admirer show that NTR’s star power remains strong.
The actor is now focusing on his next big project, Dragon, directed by Prashanth Neel. The film has already sparked huge anticipation thanks to NTR’s powerful look and the director’s reputation for high-voltage action dramas. Originally scheduled for a Sankranti 2026 release, the film has reportedly been postponed, with summer 2026 now being targeted.
For Jr NTR, moments like a Japanese fan crossing countries just to see his film reflect his growing status as a global star. While box office numbers may fluctuate, the love and passion of fans, both in India and abroad, continue to place him in a league of his own.
