Hrithik Roshan Reveals What He Has Learnt From Jr NTR
Meanwhile, during the pre-release event in Hyderabad, Hrithik Roshan added an emotional touch by sharing his experiences working with Jr NTR. He noted the similarities in their careers and praised NTR for his dedication, calling him a 'one-take final-take star.' Hrithik mentioned that he has learned the importance of giving 100 percent to each shot from NTR, a lesson he intends to carry forward in his future projects.
'I see a lot of myself in Tarak. We have had very similar journeys for 25 years now, and I think Tarak sees a little bit of himself in me also. It is true when they say that he is a one-take final-take star. On set, Tarak, I have not just observed you, but I have learnt from you. I have learnt how to go into a shot 100% — not 99.99%, not 99.999, but 100%. Which is why when he comes out of a shot, there is no judgement on me. He will not even check the shot because he knows he has given everything to it. And I will apply that in my future films. Tarak, thank you for teaching me that," he said.

Coolie v/s War 2 : Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR still chase Rajinikanth's crime-actioner at the worldwide box office after 2 days
Coolie vs. War 2 is undoubtedly one of the biggest box office clashes in recent times. Despite minimal overlap in their target audiences, it is among the most high-profile clashes of our era. Initially, War 2 was expected to be the bigger opener and the higher grosser when both films began production. However, as pre-sales commenced, it became evident that Coolie would take the lead in the initial battle. Coolie Continues Leading War 2 On Day 2; Global Difference Between Both Movies Is Over Rs 80 Crore After 2 Days Coolie opened worldwide with collections of Rs 150.75 crore, while War 2 managed around Rs 79 crore. On the second day, War 2 narrowed the gap, but Coolie maintained its global lead, driven by a stronger overseas performance. Coolie collected Rs 92 crore, compared to War 2's Rs 79 crore. While War 2's second day collections in India surpassed Coolie's, it still chases the Rajinikanth starrer courtesy the latter's lead in international markets. Ultimately, the difference between Coolie and War 2 will hinge on overseas collections, as their India collections are expected to be nearly identical, with a slight chance of Coolie finishing ahead. War 2 And Coolie Will Be Viewed As Missed Opportunities Because... Both films are likely to be viewed as missed opportunities. However, Coolie's collections are projected to rank among the top five of all time for a Kollywood film, making it reasonable to consider it a superhit. Additionally, its production costs are not as high as perceived, with over 60 percent of the budget reportedly allocated to actor and director remuneration. War 2, on the other hand, is shaping up to be a loss-making venture, which is surprising given the significant non-theatrical revenue that typically offsets costs for producers. The losses faced by the Andhra distributor are best left unaddressed. War 2 Vs Coolie Clash Update Realistically, Coolie can be declared the winner of this clash, but its underperformance relative to expectations may disappoint Rajinikanth fans and Lokesh Kanagaraj enthusiasts. War 2, from a purely commercial perspective, will likely be remembered as a nightmare best forgotten. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

War 2 Worldwide BO Day 2: Hrithik Roshan's actioner holds steady, mints THIS amount
Starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, War 2 continues the YRF Spy Universe saga and has clearly struck a chord with international audiences and the box office. The much-anticipated action sequel War 2 roared into cinemas worldwide on August 14, raking in nearly ₹ 165 crore gross at the global box office in its opening two days. Backed by Yash Raj Films, the film opened to a substantial ₹ 84 crore gross on its first day, with day two collections holding steady in a similar range. While the Hindi version witnessed a noticeable jump in business, particularly in metropolitan centres, the Telugu version experienced a slight drop — a trend industry analysts describe as typical following high initial turnout from regional fans. The film also features prominent performances from Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor, and Ashutosh Rana in key supporting roles, adding depth to the Ayan Mukerji film. Trade experts say the film's performance over the weekend will be critical. The opening numbers have been impressive so far, but with a budget reportedly exceeding ₹ 300 crore, the film will need to maintain momentum throughout the week to move into safe territory. Yash Raj Films, which has been building its ambitious shared cinematic universe, is counting on War 2 to be its next major tentpole following the success of Pathaan and Tiger 3. With positive word-of-mouth spreading on social media and strong bookings for the weekend, industry observers remain cautiously optimistic.
