The Tollywood superstar, who along with his co-star Ram Charan, made the whole world shake a leg on the tunes of the power-packed Oscar-winning dance number, 'Naatu Naatu', from his blockbuster movie 'RRR', NTR Jr has turned a year older today.

NTR Jr who delighted his millions of fans and social media followers with the first look and announced the official title of much awaited next, 'Devara', which was previously called 'NTR 30', the 'Man of Masses' is celebrating his 40th birthday today.

While the fans and industry colleagues showered their love on the birthday boy, joining them was Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan, whose birthday wish for NTR Jr caught everyone's attention.

On Saturday, Hrithik took to Twitter and extended a rather unique birthday wish for the 'Man of Masses' in Telugu style. While wishing NTR, Hrithik wrote, "Happy Birthday @tarak9999! Wishing you a joyous day and an action-packed year ahead. Awaiting you on the yuddhabhumi my friend. May your days be full of happiness and peace....until we meet. Puttina Roju Subhakankshalu Mitrama."

For the unversed, there were reports that NTR Jr may make his Bollywood debut with Yash Raj Films' 'War 2'. The much-awaited spy thriller which will be headlined by Hrithik Roshan will reportedly be directed by Ayan Mukerji.

While reports of NTR Jr being a part of 'War 2' are still abuzz for a long time, neither the makers nor the actor has confirmed or denied being a part of the project. Now, in a fresh turn of events, Hrithik Roshan's birthday tweet for NTR has somewhat confirmed that the 'RRR' star is indeed going to star in 'War 2'.

The word 'yuddhabhumi' mentioned in the caption means 'battlefield'. Though Roshan didn't mention 'War 2' in his tweet. Interestingly, NTR Jr replied to Hrithik's tweet and he too made a mention of meeting him at the 'yuddhabhoomi'.
