Costume designer Anaita Shroff Adajania on Jr NTR’s look in War 2: Built his wardrobe on power and simplicity

Costume designer Anaita Shroff Adajania opened up on styling Jr NTR in War 2 and said that his wardrobe was built on power and simplicity. The actor plays a negative role in the film which also stars Hrithik Roshan.

Sharing her experience of working with him, Anaita said, “Working with NTR for the first time on War 2 was a discovery and an absolute joy. He walks into a room and there’s this instant shift, like a current of energy that runs through everyone. And then you see the smile, the warmth, and this deep, quiet confidence in the character he’s playing. He knew exactly who he was from the start.”

She added, “With his look, I wanted to ground him—keep it real—but still retain that undeniable strength and masculinity he carries so effortlessly. There’s a rawness to his presence, like a human machine operating with purpose. That translated into a wardrobe built on power and simplicity: leather, rugged jackets, strong silhouettes. There’s no fuss, no excess—just a man who means business. His styling reflects that: direct, impactful, and unapologetically no-nonsense.”

The film’s teaser was unveiled recently showing NTR’s enigmatic character being pitted against Hrithik’s Kabir as the two engage in intense fight sequences.

Produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is set to be released in theatres on August 14.
