War 2 Teaser: Jr NTR Disappoints? Netizens Say 'Tiger Shroff Was Much Better'
Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious entries in the franchise. it stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in the lead.
The makers of War 2 finally dropped the much-awaited teaser of the movie on Tuesday and left fans super excited. Even though the teaser doesn't reveal too much about the film's plot, it gives fans a sneak peek of the high-octane sequel to the 2019 hit War. However, soon after the teaser was released, several social media users also took to their respective X (formerly Twitter) handles and expressed disappointment with Jr NTR's glimpse.
While some argued that the Telugu star is not able to match the aura of Hrithik Roshan, others claimed that Tiger Shroff looked more powerful in the initial War movie. For the unversed, while Jr NTR is playing the role of a villain in his Bollywood debut, Tiger Shroff essayed the role of a secret agent in War.
NTR Jr. is the biggest negative point of the #War2Teaser! He doesn't fit in this genre. He doesn't have that aura nor the expression to be in a spy flick. #War2 #NTRJr pic.twitter.com/lK9QFgPDh6 — A (@ThatDarkSoulx) May 20, 2025
'#War2Teaser is Oustanding 🔥 #HrithikRoshan's look and body action is amazing and he is the last super star of Bollywood the way his body action is, #JrNTR looks very weak in front of him. #JrNTR looked totally weak in front of the role played by #TigerShroff in the War movie," added another.

Coolie Advance Booking: Rajinikanth Sells 13.5K Hindi Tickets, Targets Rs 140 Cr Day 1
Last Updated: Rajinikanth's Coolie sells 13,500 Hindi tickets two days before release, aiming for Rs 140 crore global day one and a Rs 400 crore extended weekend. Rajinikanth's upcoming mega release Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is gathering steam at the box office in both southern and northern territories. Already enjoying massive pre-release hype in Tamil Nadu and other southern states, the action entertainer is now making its presence felt in the Hindi belt. Coolie Hindi Advance Booking Crosses 13,500, Sets Stage for Rs 140 Crore Day 1 As of 11:30 pm on August 11, Coolie had sold 13,500 tickets in top Hindi cinema chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis for its opening day. Trade analysts expect this figure to rise to nearly 50,000 tickets by release day, translating to a Hindi box office debut above Rs 6 crore. This is especially notable given its face-off with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2. Rajinikanth Eyes Massive Comeback, Lokesh Kanagaraj Targets Records Scheduled to release on August 14, Coolie is being positioned as a 'dormant volcano" ready to erupt globally. Presales across all languages are exceptional, with industry insiders predicting an opening day close to Rs 140 crore worldwide. The film is also tipped to challenge Leo's record for the biggest-ever Kollywood opener—a contest that could become one of the most talked-about box office battles in recent years. Rajinikanth, last seen in Vettaiyan, is aiming for a spectacular comeback, while Lokesh Kanagaraj continues his streak of delivering ever-bigger hits. Remarkably, he has maintained a two-year gap between major releases, with Leo arriving in October 2023 and Coolie now hitting screens just 22 months later. If audience reception matches early expectations, the global extended weekend total for Coolie could touch Rs 400 crore. Strong word of mouth could even propel it past 2.0, making it the highest-grossing Kollywood film in history. With a star-studded ensemble including Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Aamir Khan, Upendra, and Shruti Haasan, Coolie promises high-octane action, mass entertainment, and the kind of theatrical experience Rajinikanth fans have been waiting for.

War 2 Advance Booking: Hrithik-Jr NTR Film Sells 50K Tickets, Eyes Rs 30 Cr Hindi Opening
Last Updated: War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, sells 50,000 Hindi tickets in advance. A Rs 30 crore day-one and Rs 100 crore global opening are on the cards. The buzz for War 2 is steadily building as the Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani starrer clocks impressive advance booking numbers in its Hindi version. As of 11:30 pm on August 11, 2025, national cinema chains PVRInox and Cinepolis reported a combined 50,000 tickets sold for day one. War 2 Hindi Advance Sales Hit 50,000, Rs 30 Crore Opening Expected Trade analysts expect final pre-release sales in these chains to cross 1.5 lakh tickets, paving the way for a ₹30 crore-plus net opening in Hindi alone. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film marks a major chapter in YRF's Spy Universe. While the Hindi bookings are off to a solid start, the Telugu version opens for reservations tomorrow. Analysts predict healthy numbers but caution that War 2, being primarily a Bollywood production, won't enjoy the automatic regional boost that big-ticket Tollywood films typically get. War 2 Mixed Buzz, But Huge Potential at the Box Office Early industry chatter classifies War 2's Hindi bookings as 'good, though not exceptional." Compared to the euphoric pre-sales seen in some 2023 Bollywood blockbusters, the film's mass appeal still has room to grow. Trade experts believe positive word of mouth will be key to pulling in wider audiences. Hrithik Roshan's last outing Fighter saw strong urban numbers but faltered with rural and mass-market viewers. Whether War 2 can bridge that gap will be a major talking point post-release. Globally, advance booking trends are encouraging. A ₹100 crore worldwide opening day is within reach for the action-packed thriller. However, competition is fierce—its release-day rival Coolie is projected to net around ₹140 crore on debut. That said, Hindi films generally sustain better post-opening than Tamil blockbusters, giving War 2 a chance to take the lead in the days following its release. With slick action, a star-studded cast, and a storyline that unites two pan-India icons, War 2 is positioned as one of 2025's most ambitious releases. If audience reception matches the hype, the film could dominate the Independence Day weekend box office.
