War 2 advance booking: Will Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR film beat Pathaan, War openings?
War 2 advance booking collections
According to trade website Sacnilk, War 2 had made ₹11.91 crore gross in advance collections in India as of 1 PM. At the time of writing, the film sold 4,25,404 tickets, 2,04,899 in Hindi and 2,01,421 in Telugu. The film initially had lukewarm bookings but saw a massive jump once bookings opened up in Telugu. Given that the film has gotten permission from the Andhra Pradesh government for special shows and ticket hikes, it's expected to boost collections, too.
War 2 is part of the YRF Spy Universe. Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan holds the record for the highest opening in the franchise, with a ₹57 crore net and ₹67.80 crore gross collection in India and ₹104.80 crore worldwide. War is a close second with its ₹53.35 crore net and ₹63 crore gross collections in India and ₹78 crore worldwide. With a few hours to go before War 2's release, it remains to be seen if it'll beat these collections.

Alia Bhatt loses her cool at paparazzi as they follow her: ‘Aapki building nahi hai, please bahar jao'. Watch
Alia Bhatt was recently caught on camera expressing her frustration at paparazzi who entered a private property to photograph her. The incident occurred when the actor arrived for a pickleball game and noticed photographers stepping inside her building premises. Alia Bhatt was caught by paparazzi on Thursday in Mumbai when she was going to play a game of paddle ball. Alia loses her cool at the photographers In a video which has surfaced online, Alia is seen getting out of her car and firmly asking the paparazzi to leave. 'Gate ke andar mat aaye. Aapka building nahi hai. Please bahar jao (Don't come inside. This is not your building. Please go outside),' she said, visibly annoyed as they continued to film her. Despite repeated requests, the photographers lingered, prompting Alia to insist they respect her space before heading inside. Fans support Alia The actor's outburst found some support from the fans online, who agreed that she was well within her rights to lash out at the photographers. 'Are bhai, Kisi Ki bhi society ke andar shor sarabha hua to wo society wale complaint karte he (If they create a ruckus in any society, the RWA will complain), she is right,' read one comment. Another added, 'Boundaries, the media needs to respect boundaries. I dunno why they are given such freedom. A day will come when these paps will hurt someone and then get into serious trouble, then they will learn.' Another fan supported Alia and wrote, 'She is right thoda toh common sense hona chahiye itna pareshan kon karta (They should have some common sense. Who annoys this much).' Earlier in the day, Alia was seen for a public outing with her mother, Soni Razdan, at a screening of War 2, which is currently running in cinemas. The high-octane action film has opened to mixed reviews so far. But what truly grabbed fans' attention was the post-credits scene, which offered a first glimpse into YRF's next big spy thriller, Alpha. The teaser featured Bobby Deol marking a young girl's hand with the symbol of a covert agency—widely speculated to be a young version of Alia Bhatt's character in the film. Fans believe Alpha will explore the journey from mentor to enemy, positioning Alia in one of her most action-driven roles to date, along with Sharvari Wagh. Alia's upcoming films Bhatt has an exciting slate of upcoming films. She will headline YRF's Alpha, a female-led spy thriller set in the same universe as War and Pathaan. She is also set to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal, a period romantic drama that promises intense performances. Additionally, Alia is producing and starring in a Netflix project under her banner, Eternal Sunshine Productions.

Kiara Advani bagged debut film with one audition; dreams of playing Madhubala on screen
Kiara Advani has steadily carved her path in the film industry, rising to become one of Bollywood's most bankable stars. With the recent release of War 2, the sixth installment in YRF's blockbuster Spy Universe, Kiara is once again in the headlines. Starring alongside heavyweights Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, the film not only marks her entry into one of the biggest franchises in Indian cinema but also features her first-ever bikini scene, that has already gone viral. But long before the fame, big-banner films, and red carpets, Kiara's dream began at an age when most are still learning to walk. In an old interview with Good Times, Kiara recalled the moment she knew she was destined for the silver screen. 'I think I was about two when I knew this is what I wanted to do, I wanted to grow up and be an actor. I think it was because of all the Bollywood jhatka-matkas and watching Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, and Kareena Kapoor on screen that made me realize this is exactly where I want to be and what I want to do. While growing up, my parents saw that in me. No matter what I was doing — studying or taking part in extracurriculars, I'd somehow end up back in my room, turning on the TV, dancing to their songs, and enacting their scenes. Eventually, my parents said, 'You know what? Finish your graduation, then go for it. Give it a try. Live your dream.'' Kiara Advani made her Bollywood debut in 2014 with Fugly. Reflecting on how she landed the role, Kiara shared, 'It was just one audition. I remember doing it, and right there and then, my director went back, saw the tape, and said, 'You're on.' I was taken aback because I had auditioned before for other projects, and for one reason or another, they hadn't worked out. So when he said, 'You're on, and we're going to start the contract process,' I was like, 'Wow, that happened so fast!' I even asked, 'Isn't there anyone else who needs to see it or be part of this decision?' He told me it was all done, my audition had been sent to the producer, she'd loved it, and she called him the very next day. Everything happened at breakneck speed, and before I knew it, I was in workshops and ready to roll for the film.'

Among them, Kareena Kapoor holds a special place in her heart. 'Personally, I love Kareena Kapoor. I think the kind of films she's done, and the fact that she's completely her own person, is so inspiring. She puts up no pretences, and that's very endearing. There's a reason she's an icon.' When asked whose biopic she'd love to portray, Kiara didn't hesitate. 'I would really like to play Madhubala. I feel like I don't know enough about her, and I want to know a lot more. If I ever got that opportunity, I'd have to research her life, and that would be exciting.' In the same candid conversation, Kiara Advani also shared what qualities she looks for in a partner. 'I think he should be very confident about who he is, self-assured, working, witty, and humorous… all those qualities we all want in a man. Some might sound a little vain, like he should smell good and have those little cute quirks about him, but most importantly, he should be real and self-assured.' Kiara added that she wouldn't mind dating someone from Bollywood, something that would prove to be prophetic. Kiara met actor Sidharth Malhotra on the sets of Shershaah, where their on-screen chemistry sparked a real-life romance. The couple tied the knot on February 7, 2023, in a traditional Hindu ceremony in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Just last month, the couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl.
