In his post, Hrithik appeared to be recalling his early days as a child actor, when he worked with Rajinikanth in 'Bhagwaan Dada' (1986).

The post quickly struck chords with fans, as many found the gesture to be in good faith and respectful.

On August 14, both 'War 2' and 'Coolie' will make their theatrical openings, marking a much-awaited moment.

Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, 'Coolie' features the superstar in a powerful new look as the lead protagonist. Actor Nagarjuna is seen as the villain, while Aamir Khan is also set to make a cameo in the film.

Aamir Khan as Dahaa also makes an entry in the trailer.

Kiara Advani is also a part of the film.

An Ayan Mukerji directorial, 'War 2' is a sequel to the original 2019 film, which starred Hrithik Roshan opposite Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor. (ANI)
