In the song Aavan Jaavan, Hrithik and Kiara are seen romancing through Italy's picturesque streets.
Last month, Rakesh Roshan underwent angioplasty in the neck. A few weeks ago, Rakesh had shared a photo from the hospital in which he interacted with his medical team and shook hands with a nurse. He also updated fans about his health and said, 'I am back home now, fully recovered, and hope to get back to my workouts very soon. I hope this inspires others to stay on top of their health especially where the heart and brain is concerned.'

Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's ‘War 2' zooms past War's collection at the end of day 2
War 2, starring Hritik Roshan and Jr NTR, is performing well at the box office. The film's opening was slightly lower than War. However, Day 2 collections increased significantly. War 2's two-day total exceeds War's earnings. Strong word of mouth and repeat viewings are driving the film's success. Trade experts predict War 2 will cross Rs 200 crore in its opening weekend. The highly anticipated War 2 directed by Ayan Mukerji, headlined by Hrithik Roshan , Jr NTR , and Kiara Advani , has taken a strong stand at the box office, racing past the numbers of its predecessor War. Back in 2019, War starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff was a game-changer for Hindi cinema's action genre. On its opening day ( 2nd October) , the film had posted Rs 53.35 crore net in India, a staggering figure at the time, powered largely by the Hindi version's Rs 51.60 crore. Day 2, however, saw a significant drop, with collections falling to Rs 24.35 crore, marking a steep 54.35% decline. The two-day total stood at Rs 77.70 crore net. Despite the fall, War went on to be a blockbuster, finishing its run with more than Rs 300 crore in India. Fast forward to 2025, and War 2 has rewritten the script. The film opened on Thursday with Rs 51.5 crore net, slightly below War's Day 1 but still massive by any measure. What stunned the trade, however, was the turnaround on Day 2. Instead of slipping, War 2 soared to an estimated Rs 56.50 crore net of which Rs 44 crore came from Hindi version as per Sacnilk. The numbers were driven by strong word of mouth, Hrithik Roshan's strong fanbase, and repeat viewership for its high-octane action. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo This growth of nearly 10% over opening day is extremely rare for a big-budget action film, particularly on a non-holiday and despite mixed reviews the film garnered. The two-day total of War 2 now stands at Rs 108 crore net, eclipsing War's two-day figure of Rs 77.70 crore by a huge margin. This makes War 2 not only a bigger opener in terms of trajectory but also one of the highest-grossing films in India across its first two days in 2025 so far. For Aditya Chopra and Ayan Mukerji, the numbers signal a strong vote of confidence. Trade experts believe War 2 is on course to cross the Rs 200 crore net mark in its opening weekend, a feat that would make it one of the fastest films to do so in Indian box office history.
