SCOOP: YRF puts the standalone NTR Jr. film for Spy Universe on HOLD after the failure of War 2

/

War 2’s failure has rattled YRF to its core, pushing the studio brass back to the drawing board. The film hasn’t just faced flak for its weak content; it’s also tanked theatrically, inflicting heavy financial losses on all stakeholders. And in a dramatic fallout, Aditya Chopra has already pulled the plug on the planned standalone film featuring NTR Jr., aka Agent Vikram. SCOOP: YRF puts the standalone NTR Jr. film for Spy Universe on HOLD after the failure of War 2 A source close to the studio discreetly informed Bollywood Hungama, “YRF had ambitious plans to capitalize on the Pan India popularity of NTR Jr. and make a spin-off to the character of Agent Vikram. The creative team at YRF was already developing a standalone film for Agent Vikram, but the failure of War 2 has halted the entire process.” In-fact, Aditya Chopra is clear not to proceed on the Agent Vikram spin-off, and will be redesigning the Spy Universe in the future. “Agent Vikram film is not a feasible move anymore, and Adi has conveyed the same to NTR Jr. The Man of Masses also agreed to Adi’s point of view and has parted ways with the banner on a very healthy note. He would not longer be a part of the Spy Universe, as the condition to sign on for War 2 was the possibility of a solo Agent Vikram film as a follow-up to War 2.” The next Chapter of the YRF Spy Universe is Alpha with Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, and the tentative release date is Christmas 2025.

War 2 leaves YRF bleeding with losses of approx. Rs. 60 crores; a bigger embarrassment than Thugs of Hindostan

/

Within a span of 7 days, everything around the YRF Spy Universe has come crashing down. What looked like a franchise that couldn’t go wrong – with back-to-back 5 hit films – witnessed the first failure since 2012. After successfully delivering Pathaan and Tiger 3 in 2023, the hopes were high for Aditya Chopra’s War 2 with Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr. in the lead. War 2 leaves YRF bleeding with losses of approx. Rs. 60 crores; a bigger embarrassment than Thugs of Hindostan To make it a tentpole feature spectacle for the viewers, Aditya Chopra left no stone unturned by mounting it on a historical budget of Rs. 450 crores (All Inclusive). However, the production house’s risk has not paid off. Reliable industry sources have confirmed that YRF will be losing big money on War 2. “Around Rs. 150 crores have been recovered from the sale of digital, satellite, and music. The theatrical share in the best-case scenario from here will be Rs. 140 crores from the worldwide box office. This means YRF is set to lose approximately. Rs. 60 to 70 crores on War 2.” The source further confirmed that this is the biggest disaster for YRF in the modern era, along with the Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan film Thugs of Hindostan. “The Monday numbers have come down crashing, and it’s the death of the franchise at this point in time. In fact, the failure of War 2 has also impacted the future spyverse slate of YRF.” The losses to YRF aside, the Telugu distributor of the film, Naga Vamsi, too, will lose 65 percent of his investment. “Naga Vamsi acquired War 2 for Rs. 90 crores, and the Telugu share of War 2 will be less than Rs. 40 crores. He is set to lose over Rs. 50 crores on War 2.” After back-to-back hits in the form of Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3, War 2 is the first failure from the YRF Spy Universe.

SCOOP: Coolie shows increased in multiplexes on popular demand; showcasing battle with War 2 gets intense

/

It’s all volatile in the film industry as the battle between War 2 (Hindi) and Coolie (Hindi) is getting more intense than anyone could ever imagine. In front of a juggernaut like War 2, Coolie is managing to make its way towards the audience. Earlier in the week, Bollywood Hungama explosively reported how YRF has bagged 100 percent showcasing in all single screens, dual screens, and triple screen properties across India, leaving just one/two shows for Coolie in the four-screen properties. SCOOP: Coolie shows increased in multiplexes on popular demand; showcasing battle with War 2 gets intense But all it took to change the tide was the advances. The last four days have seen a dynamic shift in showcasing, as the showcasing for Coolie is increasing with every single day. The film initially was slated to release with a capacity of Rs. 8 crore on the first day, but the good advance booking response has now increased the capacity by 60 percent to Rs. 13 crores. While War 2 will be leading in Hindi, there is a high possibility for Coolie to clock better occupancy in Hindi on the day of release, as the size remains to be lower than the demand. A leading multiplex player tells us on anonymity, “Coolie is doing well in the tier 2 and tier 3 centres, and hence we are increasing the shows for the film. There is a demand in the audience, and as service providers, we just have to match that.” Another cinema owner, who owns a two-screen property, told us, “We had strict orders from YRF not to give a single show to Coolie. However, we have now managed to get 2 shows of Coolie at our property, due to the audience demand, and it has started to sell tickets as well.” The names of cinema halls and multiplex chains have been kept under wraps to protect their financial interests, but the shows have already started to increase on the Book My Show platform.

Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR attended the much-talked-about War 2 promotional event organized at a grand scale in Hyderabad. Before the stars came on the stage, Akshaye Widhani of Yash Raj Films (YRF) spoke about the stars, the film and a lot more. War 2 GRAND event in Hyderabad: Akshaye Widhani of YRF says, “War 2 is going to be a GAME-CHANGER…we have worked very hard to keep the story HIDDEN”; hails Hrithik Roshan, NTR: “The GREATEST actors of the North and South have come together for this film” Akshaye Widhani began by saying, “It’s a real privilege and an honour to be here. We are all very excited about War 2. This year, we celebrate 25 years of Hrithik and NTR sir, which is amazing. The fact that these two icons of Indian cinema have come together indicates that something special is happening. War 2 is going to be a game-changer. I want to take a moment to thank them both for doing this and making sure that we made such a special film. I would also like to thank everyone who has come out today. War 2 is going to be a surprise that all of you are going to love. You are also going to enjoy NTR to the fullest in the film!” As expected, the crowd went crazy on hearing the last sentence. Akshaye Widhani continued, “Both Hrithik sir and NTR are outstanding. I can’t wait for you guys to watch it. War 2 is a true Pan-India film. The greatest actors of the North and South have come together for this film. I think it’s going to be extra special and magical. I believe we have created a film that is fitting to their legacy. Both have an incredible body of work and they have achieved a lot in 25 years. Their fans have given so much love that we hope that all that love comes to War 2.” He added, “YRF Spy Universe is truly one of India’s leading franchises. It took years of hard work to get here. A lot of thought, strategy and curation have gone into building this universe.” When asked where War 2 fits in the timeline of the universe, Akshaye replied, “I think Ayan Mukerji has made such a fine film that we are all proud of. As for the timeline, I don’t want to share anything about the story of the film. We have worked very hard to keep the story hidden and make sure that it’s a surprise for the audience when they come on the 14th. All I can say is that it’s a brilliant film and fits perfectly in the universe.” War 2 releases in cinemas on August 14.

Coolie v/s War 2: Rajinikanth starrer releases on 1200 screens against Hrithik Roshan and NTR's actioner in Hindi

/

The biggest showdown of the year between War 2 and Coolie has begun. While the Rajinikanth starrer has taken the box office by storm globally, things are slowly starting to gain momentum in Hindi as well. Seeing a North India release by Pen Marudhar, Coolie is slated to release on 1200 screens in Hindi, which is the second highest for a Tamil film dubbed in Hindi after 2 Point 0. Coolie v/s War 2: Rajinikanth starrer releases on 1200 screens against Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s actioner in Hindi A trade source shared with Bollywood Hungama, “Coolie is getting a good release in Hindi, as the makers have managed to fetch 1200 screens. The distributor has managed to get about 3500 shows in Hindi, which is reasonable for a dubbed film in a clash scenario. However, the release size is nowhere close to War 2, which arrives on 5000 screens in Hindi. The Hrithik and NTR Jr. film will be showing a substantial lead with showcasing in Hindi, as in Hindi, it is undoubtedly what Coolie is turning out to be for the Non-Hindi audience.” The battle for showcasing is going on at a super strong pace all across the country, as Pen Marudhar is trying to get some shows in single screens too. “YRF announced it will capture over 90 percent of single screens in India, but the single screen bookings are yet to open as team Coolie is trying to get one show per screen. The negotiations are on, and the single-screen owners are stuck in a fierce battle.” Overall, War 2 is set for a significant lead in North India as the giant force of YRF will always be prefered over anyone else in the North market, but Pen Marudhar is trying to find a way out to get some sort of counter showcasing, to get footfalls on the first day.

SCOOP: Not Salman Khan, or Shah Rukh Khan, Bobby Deol to have a cameo in War 2

/

War 2 is among the most awaited films of 2025, which brings together Hrithik Roshan and NTR for the first time. Since it is a part of the YRF Spy Universe, there are several rumours and speculations about Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan making an appearance in the end credit sequence of War 2. But we can confirm that neither of the two superstars have a cameo in War 2. SCOOP: Not Salman Khan, or Shah Rukh Khan, Bobby Deol to have a cameo in War 2 Sources close to the project told Bollywood Hungama, “War 2 won’t feature either of Tiger or Pathaan, however, their names will be used at some key junctures of the film. The end credit sequence of War 2 will act as a build up for the next chapter of YRF Spy Universe – Alpha. Aditya Chopra is staying true to his vision of continuing the story forward, rather than opting for gimmicks by bringing all 3 superstars in the same film. He is reserving the union of all 3 superstars for a mega project, which is in the development stage.” We asked the source what is the surprise element of War 2. “With War 2, Aditya Chopra will be establishing Bobby Deol to the Universe. It’s an epic introduction to Bobby Deol’s character, who is one of the main villains in the timeline going forward. Aditya Chopra is known to go against the tide, and instead of establishing his two female leads of Alpha – Alia Bhatt and Sharvari – he is going ahead by unleashing the negative force of the film, Bobby Deol,” the source told Bollywood Hungama. War 2 is set to release on August 14, 2025 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. It is directed by Ayan Mukerji and is the 6th Chapter of YRF Spy Universe.

Coolie tornado strikes War 2 internationally; Rajinikanth starrer grosses Rs. 27 crores compared to Rs. 4.5 crore for War 2

/

The Rajinikanth led Coolie is turning out to be a box office hurricane as the film has surpassed all expectations in the advance booking. With 6 days to go for release, Coolie has sold tickets worth Rs. 27 crores in the international markets, making it the best advance of all time for an Indian film outside of Baahubali 2. Leading from the front is the US, followed by Malaysia, the UAE, and Australia/New Zealand. Coolie tornado strikes War 2 internationally; Rajinikanth starrer grosses Rs. 27 crores compared to Rs. 4.5 crore for War 2 The film is looking to score history at the box office with an unimaginable opening day at the overseas market. The first day could be as high as Rs. 80 crores on Thursday, which speaks volumes about the hype commanded by Coolie among the cinema-going audience. While the total overseas advance of Coolie stands at Rs. 27 crores, War 2 has a sub-par response with advances of Rs. 4.50 crores. The Telugu version of War 2 has contributed 50 percent to the total advances so far. The film is trailing behind Coolie internationally, and the hope for revival in this will be the business in India, especially driven by NTR Jr. in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and Hrithik Roshan in the Hindi markets. At the moment, it looks like a clean sweep for Coolie to emerge as the first pick at the worldwide box office, until and unless War 2 makes up for the overseas gap with performance in India. Right now, it’s safe to conclude that the hype for War 2 is hit by a tornado in the form of Coolie.

Hrithik Roshan- NTR starrer War 2 sets new North American record: Fastest Indian film to cross $100K in pre-sales

/

In yet another indication of its soaring global anticipation, War 2 has created history in the North American market by becoming the fastest Indian film to cross USD 100,000 in advance ticket sales. Achieving this feat in just seven hours, the Hrithik Roshan–NTR Jr starrer has outpaced the previous record held by Devara, which took 11 hours and 37 minutes to reach the same milestone earlier this year. Hrithik Roshan- NTR starrer War 2 sets new North American record: Fastest Indian film to cross $100K in pre-sales The benchmark achievement was confirmed by industry sources tracking pre-sales across key US and Canadian circuits, marking a major win for Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe, which continues to gain momentum with each new instalment. While pre-release hype around War 2 had been steadily building—thanks to the union of two cinematic powerhouses in Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr—few expected such a swift surge in ticket demand, particularly in a traditionally competitive overseas market. What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is the fact that the $100K mark was crossed without the benefit of region-specific promotional tours or major marketing activations in the US and Canada. The buzz, it seems, has been driven almost entirely by the reputation of the lead actors, the curiosity around Ayan Mukerji’s directorial vision, and the franchise’s previous success at the global box office. War (2019), the film’s predecessor, set new benchmarks for action thrillers in Hindi cinema. War 2 not only promises to raise the bar with high-octane action sequences and a broader narrative arc but also extends the canvas of the YRF Spy Universe, which now includes hits like Pathaan and Tiger 3. For NTR Jr., War 2 is his first major outing in Bollywood post-RRR, and the excitement from Telugu cinema fans—especially in the diaspora—has been a major driver of these numbers. The crossover appeal, coupled with Hrithik Roshan’s loyal international fanbase, has turned War 2 into a cross-demographic juggernaut. Industry insiders expect the momentum to continue well past the first $100K. With weeks still to go before release, all eyes are now on how far War 2 can push the envelope in terms of pre-sales benchmarks—not just for Indian films, but international releases in general. In a global landscape where Indian cinema is increasingly making inroads into mainstream markets, War 2‘s North American performance is more than just a record—it’s a statement.

BREAKING: 'Kesariya' team reunites for Hrithik Roshan–Kiara Advani’s romantic 'Flashback' song in War 2

/

In what’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated tracks of the year, Bollywood Hungama can exclusively confirm that the hitmaking team behind the iconic ‘Kesariya’—director Ayan Mukerji, composer Pritam, lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya, and singer Arijit Singh—are reuniting for a romantic track in War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. BREAKING: ‘Kesariya’ team reunites for Hrithik Roshan–Kiara Advani’s romantic ‘Flashback’ song in War 2 The track, which is expected to drop this week, will be the first song from War 2 to be released, just ahead of the film’s grand Independence Day weekend opening on August 14, 2025. The internet has been buzzing with chatter about this reunion, and now, the collaboration has been officially confirmed by Yash Raj Films, the producers of the upcoming spy action thriller. While YRF spokesperson confirms the latest update, they refrained from giving away plot details, but a source close to the development reveals, “It is a beautiful track that shows the romance between Hrithik and Kiara’s characters in War 2. The song is soft, emotional, and soulful—very different from the high-octane tone of the film. It will reveal the backstory of their relationship.” Bollywood Hungama had earlier reported that the romantic ballad is actually a flashback number, shedding light on Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) and Kavya (Kiara Advani) and their past connection. Shot in the scenic locales of Rome and Tuscany, glimpses of the shoot had leaked online months ago, creating a frenzy among fans eager to witness this on-screen pairing’s chemistry. With the creative forces behind Kesariya at the helm, expectations are already soaring. The emotional resonance of that song had struck a chord with millions, and this upcoming track aims to do the same, this time within the intense world of espionage and betrayal. Arijit Singh, who earlier delivered the chartbuster Ghungroo with Hrithik in War (2019), returns to lend his voice once again—this time for a more intimate and heartfelt melody. While War 2 promises to be a visual spectacle and high-stakes action drama—especially with the formidable face-off between Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr.—this flashback love song adds a touch of vulnerability and emotional complexity to Kabir’s arc. For fans, it’s a glimpse into what Kabir once had and what may have shaped the man he has become. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, and produced by Aditya Chopra under the YRF Spy Universe, War 2 is set for a Pan-India release in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil across theatres and IMAX screens. Following the blockbuster response to its teaser and trailer, this song release is poised to be the next big moment in the campaign—and it couldn’t come at a better time. With a musical dream team at work and Hrithik Roshan, and Kiara Advani front and centre in a roles that promise both action and aching emotion, this track is expected to set the tone for what could be the most memorable love story in the Spy Universe yet.

SCOOP: Telugu version of WAR 2 sold for Rs. 90 crores; NTR Jr. strikes gold with backend profit share

/

Just a day back, we exclusively informed that NTR Jr. is drawing Rs. 70 crores as salary for War 2, whereas Hrithik Roshan has a pay cheque of Rs. 50 crores with backend profits. And now, there is a twist in the tale. Very reliable trade sources have confirmed that YRF has parted ways with the Telugu rights of War 2 by selling it upfront to Naga Vamsi. “Naga Vamsi has bagged Telugu rights for War 2 for a sum of Rs. 90 crores. Every profit from the theatrical medium in Telugu will now rest with Naga Vamsi, and YRF, in turn, has got outright recovery of Rs. 90 crores against a budget of Rs. 400 crores. The case of Telugu is now settled between the parties,” a trade source shared with Bollywood Hungama. As a masterstroke deal, Naga Vamsi and NTR Jr. have entered into a backend deal to share the profits of War 2 from the Telugu version. “After drawing a big pay cheque of Rs. 70 crores, NTR Jr. is also entitled to a share in profits from the Telugu version from Naga Vamsi. He is likely to end up with a pay cheque of Rs. 100 crore plus by the end of the run, as the Telugu version of War 2 is sure to yield big profits. Neither YRF nor Hrithik has a share in the profits of Telugu; it will be split between NTR Jr. & Vamsi,” the trade source further shared with Bollywood Hungama. Hrithik on the other hand, has a direct deal with YRF, who will share a percentage from the overall profits of the project. The Telugu revenue from YRF point of view is fixed at Rs. 90 crores; everything it earns beyond is a surplus for Vamsi & NTR Jr., who have bagged the film on a MG model.

WAR 2 is India’s most EXPENSIVE spy thriller at Rs. 400 crores; NTR Jr. paid Rs. 70 cr. while Hrithik walks away with Rs. 50 crores plus profits!

/

And now we have found the reason for this. A trade source confirms that War 2 is the most expensive and most ambitious film of the YRF Spy Universe. “War 2 is made on a budget of Rs. 400 crores, surpassing the budget of Tiger 3 (Rs. 350 crores), and Pathaan (Rs. 325 crores). This does not include the marketing budget kept aside for print and publicity,” the source told Bollywood Hungama discretely. We hear that NTR Jr. has drawn a pay cheque of Rs. 70 crores for War 2, whereas Hrithik Roshan has got an upfront fee of Rs. 50 crore, with an additional clause of a back-end deal for profit sharing. Kiara Advani, on the other hand, has got Rs. 15 crores, whereas Anil Kapoor is drawing Rs. 10 crores for War 2. The acting fees alone have resulted in Rs. 150 crores, with Ayan Mukerji getting a hefty cheque of Rs. 30 crores. “The remaining Rs. 220 crores have been invested in mounting the film at an unimaginable scale. The visuals of War 2 will take the audience on an unforgettable ride,” the trade source told Bollywood Hungama.
