Star Watch: Jr NTR sparks excitement as he's spotted with ‘Muruga: The Lord of War,’ hinting at a mythological role while gearing up for War 2 and Dragon.

Interestingly, Mohanlal's character in 'Thudarum' comes across as a devotee of Lord Murugan. The actor took to his X timeline to write, "Thank You, Almighty #Thudarum".

The BJP, meanwhile, is leveraging Lord Murugan as a cultural and electoral symbol in Tamil Nadu. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has taken an active role in promoting the Madurai conference.
