Hrithik Roshan claims 'War 2 is going to be something unmissable'

Mumbai: Hrithik Roshan believes that his upcoming action entertainer "War 2" opposite NTR will be an unmissable project for movie buffs. Hrithik revealed that the love, appreciation, and encouragement he received for playing Kabir in "War" reminded him of the love that he got for "Kaho Na Pyaar Hai", "Dhoom 2", and "Krrish". Talking about what it has been like playing Kabir yet again, Hrithik added: "And this time I'm coming back with Kabir, and it's such a joy to play that character that everyone loved so much, I hope. This time he's more intense and even more in a dilemma than he was—very, very emotional. So War 2, I think, is going to be something unmissable.' Despite a memorable experience, shooting "War 2" has been a challenging journey for Hrithik. While he had to overcome several major injuries, he believes that every bit of the pain was worth it to give the audience a movie that they can truly love. 'It was difficult (to push through and overcome pain and injury). We worked very, very hard. All the pain, all the injury while filming War 2 has been worth it. When I felt pain while I was shooting War 2, I was thinking, is all this worth it?—but when I see the love for it, of course it is worth it," the 'Super 30' actor shared. The makers plan to release "War 2" in Hindi and Telugu at Dolby Cinema sites in North America, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, along with other markets across the globe. Helmed by Ayan Mukerji, "War 2" has been backed by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films, making the film a part of the Yash Raj YRF Spy Universe. Aside from Hrithik, the action entertainer will also star Kiara Advani and NTR as the lead, marking the Bollywood debut of the 'RRR' actor. "War 2" is gearing up to release in the cinema halls on August 14th in Hindi, Telugu & Tamil.

Box Office: War 2 dominates Coolie in Hindi Advance Booking; targets 5 times higher opening

War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani, and Jr NTR, is releasing in cinemas on August 14. The movie is witnessing good advance booking in its home turf against Rajinikanth starrer Coolie, which is releasing on the same day. War 2 leads advance booking in Hindi by a good margin As of 3.30 PM (August 12), the Ayan Mukerji directorial has sold over 67,000 tickets in the top three national chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis. On the other hand, Coolie has recorded around 14,000 admissions in Hindi PIC sales. The Hrithik-NTR film has maintained a good lead of 53,000 tickets over Coolie, which indicates a clear domination in the Hindi belt. War 2 will be the top preference for the Hindi audience this weekend, as reflected in the pre-bookings. Moreover, the YRF movie has a wide screen count in North India compared to the Tamil-origin movie, which is also benefiting it in a big way. Ideally, there is no clash between War 2 and Coolie in the Hindi regions. However, Coolie is doing well as a standalone movie. Despite a limited screen count, the dubbed movie is experiencing reasonably good advance booking, hinting at an encouraging opening. War 2 and Coolie can co-exist together; Good weekend for cinema-going audience As per current trends, Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie is likely to take the second biggest start in Hindi for a Tamil movie. It is catering to a completely different audience than War 2, which means both movies can co-exist well and make the Independence Day weekend a memorable experience for the cinemagoing audience. Talking about the opening day, War 2 is on course to debut with 5 to 6 times higher than Coolie in Hindi. Since August 14 is a non-holiday, both movies are expected to see massive jumps over the weekend, with the potential of recording their biggest business days on August 15 (Friday, National Holiday) and August 17 (Sunday). The rest will be decided by how the audience reacts to both the movies and how word-of-mouth spreads among the masses.

War 2 vs Coolie: Rajinikanth beats Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR in advance booking collections, who will dominate at the box office?

On Thursday, August 14, just before Independence Day, two action thrillers will clash at the box office. On one side is 'Spy Universe's' 'War 2', which this time stars Junior NTR and Kiara Advani alongside Hrithik Roshan. On the other side is Lokesh Kanagaraj's Tamil crime drama 'Coolie', which stars superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role. While 'War 2', directed by Ayan Mukherjee, is a sequel to 'War' released in 2019, 'Coolie' is a stand-alone film. Advance booking for both has already begun. Can Rajiniaknth's Coolie beat Hrithik Roshan's War 2? The countdown to the release has begun and in the initial figures of pre-booking, 'Coolie' has beaten 'War 2' badly. However, there are still three days left including Monday, so the tables could turn by Wednesday! Before we look at the advance booking figures, it is important to know that the advance booking for 'War 2' started on Sunday, August 10. While the advance booking for 'Coolie' started on the evening of August 8 with limited screens. As of Monday afternoon, 6978 shows are being pre-booked for 'War 2' in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions. While for 'Coolie', advance booking is going on for 6111 shows in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada. 'War 2' advance booking report According to the report of Sacnilk, till 12 noon on Monday, a total of 67886 tickets of 'War 2' have been booked in advance for the opening day. Due to this, it has earned a gross of Rs 2.40 crore. The Hindi version has earned 2.20 crores, which includes all three 2D, IMAX and 4DX. The Tamil version has earned 5.53 lakhs and the Telugu version has grossed 14.62 lakhs. 'Coolie' Advance Booking Report On the other hand, Rajinikanth starrer 'Coolie' has grossed Rs 14.80 crore in advance booking till Monday morning. So far 716949 tickets of this film have been sold for the first day. The highest pre-booking of this Lokesh Kanagaraj film is obviously happening in Tamil, from where it has earned 14.39 crores. Apart from this, 29.25 lakhs have been earned from Hindi, 10.41 lakhs from Telugu and 1.07 lakhs from Kannada version. Both the films have a pan India star cast An interesting coincidence is that the makers have tried their best to make both the films pan-India. While Telugu superstar Junior NTR is playing the villain in 'War 2', Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is doing a cameo in 'Coolie'. Budget and cast of 'Coolie' The budget of 'Coolie', which is being made under the banner of Sun Pictures, is said to be Rs 375 crore. This is the 171st film of Rajinikanth's career. It also stars Nagarjuna and Shruti Haasan. With 'Coolie', Rajinikanth is also completing his 50 years in the film industry. The film has music by Anirudh Ravichander. Budget and cast of 'War 2' On the other hand, there is more pressure on 'War 2'. This is because it is the sequel of a blockbuster film. 'War', which came in 2019, featured Hrithik Roshan along with Tiger Shroff, Ashutosh Rana and Vaani Kapoor. While Hrithik and Ashutosh will be seen again in their roles of a superspy and his boss in this sequel, this time Kiara Advani is the lead actress and Junior NTR is coming as the villain. The budget of 'War 2' is around Rs 400 crore.
