So far, the film has minted more than ₹ 4 crore already in advance booking. According to by 10.30 pm Sunday, the advance booking figure has crossed ₹ 4.24 crore. The figures are for about 9000 shows in Hindi (2D, IMAX, DOLBY, 4DX and other formats), 100 for Tamil and 115 for Telugu. The Telugu shows are less than expected, considering the film also stars a popular Telugu actor, Jr NTR, added the trade tracker. Sacnilk said the Hindi version of War 2 is will release on 5000 screens in India, which features a runtime of 2 hours 53 minutes. The international advance booking also opened for War 2 last week, however, the response was not so warm. Trade sources say YRF is releasing the Hindi version in 900 US screens for paid previews. Till Sunday, about 1,600 tickets had been sold, leaving many auditoriums almost empty. Although the movie will see a limited release in the Southern belt — Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Pondicherry- the film will be available in 2 other languages besides Hindi — Telugu and Tamil. Made on a budget of 400 crores, according to Bollywood Hungama, the costliest Spy film in India is expected to emerge as one of the biggest openers of the year. Though the numbers appear promising, War 2 is going to clash with Rajinikanth's Coolie, which releases on the same day. On Sunday, YRF declared advanced booking open on Sunday with special video. The caption on Instagram read, 'Are you ready to witness the CARNAGE in cinemas from August 14th?

Lights, Camera, Policy: Delhi To Get New Filming Plan To Attract Global Eye
New Delhi: Delhi is eyeing a place on the global film map, with Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announcing that her government will roll out a new policy to position the national capital as an international shooting destination. Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Celebrating India Film Festival (CIFF) at Siri Fort, Ms Gupta said the policy will introduce a single-window clearance system for approving film and other shoot applications. The government also plans to build world-class industry infrastructure to make Delhi a full-fledged film hub. "We are deeply committed to transforming Delhi into a film hub," she said. Rs 30 Crore For International Film Festival Alongside the policy, the CM announced that the government will co-organise an International Film Festival in the capital with a budget allocation of Rs 30 crore. The event aims to bring together filmmakers, distributors and creative professionals from across the globe, while also showcasing Delhi's culture and diversity. Ms Gupta described the festival as a milestone in Delhi's cultural journey. "Imagining such a magnificent event in the heart of Delhi - and then turning it into reality - is no easy task. This festival has sent out a message that Delhi is now moving towards becoming a new centre for film production and cultural expression," she said. From Stage To Screen - Keeping Talent In Delhi The CM pointed out that despite housing the National School of Drama (NSD), Delhi has never had a serious initiative to develop its own film industry. "Until now, Mumbai has been synonymous with the film and entertainment industry. Talent from Delhi that manages to make headway often moves to Mumbai for better opportunities. Why should people learn acting in Delhi, only to be forced to seek work in Mumbai?" she asked. Ms Gupta said her government aims to ensure that everyone involved in cinema, television and OTT production has access to everything from shooting to post-production within the city. This, she said, would mean local artists no longer have to migrate for work. Boosting Tourism And Creative Economy The government has earmarked Rs 3 crore specifically to turn Delhi into a hotspot for film production. Officials expect a sharp rise in shooting applications in the coming year, with the single-window system set to streamline approvals. "This is not just about films," Ms Gupta added. "With this new film policy, Delhi will no longer be known solely for politics or history, but also for its culture, creativity and cinematic locations." The International Film Festival will screen films and documentaries from India and abroad on varied themes, offering a platform for emerging talent and fostering global collaborations. City officials believe the initiative will also give a major push to tourism and hospitality in Delhi. Preparations for the festival are already underway, with industry watchers calling it a potential game-changer for Delhi's cultural and economic profile.

New policy to make Delhi a film shooting hub
New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday announced that a new film policy is being framed to position the capital as an international shooting destination. The policy will include a single-window clearance system for approving film and other shoot applications, along with comprehensive plans to develop the necessary infrastructure to transform Delhi into a global film hub. Gupta also announced that an international film festival will be organised in the city and a budget of Rs 30 crore has been earmarked for it. Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Celebrating India Film Festival (CIFF) at Siri Fort Auditorium, Gupta said the govt is committed to turning Delhi into a cultural and cinematic centre.

The govt expects a surge in film shoot applications and plans to fast-track approvals to encourage filmmakers to explore Delhi's locations and stories. She said that this festival has sent out a message that Delhi is now becoming a new centre for film production and cultural expression. "With this new film policy, Delhi will no longer be known just for politics or history, but also for its culture, creativity, and cinematic appeal," she said. Gupta highlighted the irony that while Delhi is home to prestigious institutions like the National School of Drama (NSD), talent still migrates to Mumbai for opportunities. "Why should people learn acting in Delhi only to be forced to seek work in Mumbai?" she asked. The CM said the govt now aims to provide complete support for the film and television ecosystem—from shooting to post-production—within the capital. "Local artistes should not have to leave Delhi. Today's event marks a milestone in that direction," she said. Gupta added that the upcoming film festival will not only showcase films and documentaries from India and abroad but also highlight Delhi's rich cultural diversity. Hosting an international film festival in Delhi will also boost tourism, for which preparations are already underway, she said.
