Following the confirmation that he will be directing 'Krrish 4', Hrithik announced that a teaser for 'War 2 'is scheduled to drop on May 20, coinciding with the birthday of his co-star Jr NTR. Meanwhile, reports have surfaced about a 2024 meeting between Hrithik and director Atlee, where both expressed interest in working together. Despite their confidence, the collaboration ultimately did not come to fruition.The Secret Meeting Between Hrithik and AtleeAccording to Bollywood Hungama, Hrithik and director Atlee met privately in the latter half of 2024.

A source told the portal that both have high respect for each other’s work and they had a long conversation about it and other areas of life. Hrithik Roshan and Atlee did express the desire to work with each other. However, they realized that it won’t be possible in the near future. It was a time when Atlee was working on his next venture while Hrithik, at that point, was all set to gear up for the pre-production of 'Krrish 4'.Busy Schedules Delay CollaborationThe source further said that both 'Krrish 4' and 'A22xA6' are high-profile, time-consuming films and hence, for the next two years, they’ll be fully invested in it. Nevertheless, they decided to be in touch and hoped for a collaboration later on, if things fall into place.Hrithik’s Upcoming ProjectsOn the work front, Hrithik Roshan is set to star alongside Jr NTR in the upcoming film 'War 2', directed by Ayan Mukerji.
