Kiara Advani's War 2 Bikini Scene Trimmed By 9 Seconds, Censor Board Asks To Tone Down Sensual Imagery
War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani and Jr NTR, was asked to make some edits ahead of its release on the eve of the Independence Day. Among other things, Kiara Advani's bikini scene was chopped off by 9 seconds after the Central Borad Of Certification (CBFC) directed to tone down sensual imagery by 50 percent, as per a Bollywood Hungama report.
What's Happening
Kiara Advani's bikini scene became the talking point after the song Aava Jaava released.
The song gave substantial screen time to showcase Kiara Advani's bikini moves.
As per reports, the CBFC didn't mention the bikini scene categorically. But the scene, reportedly, was trimmed by 9 seconds.
An industry insider further revealed to the portal that it was the Revising Committee (RC), not the Examining Committee (EC), that gave War 2 its clearance.
The source noted, "It is possible that the EC must have asked for many changes, which must have prompted War 2 makers to approach the RC."
The insider further explained, "The Presiding Officer of the RC was Padma Shri Ramesh Patange. He is known to clear those films for which the EC has had reservations. Last year, he had cleared the controversial film Hamare Baraah and also Vedaa. The latter also had faced issues with the EC after which the RC cleared the film, albeit with changes."
About War 2
War 2 is the sequel to the 2019 film War. This is the first time Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR collaborated for a film. The trailer promises an action-packed extravaganza with some philosohical musings.
Hrihik Roshan shared an adorable post from the last day of the shoot on Instagram. An excerpt from his long note read, "Felt a mixed bag of emotions as the cameras stopped rolling for #War2. 149 days of relentless chase, action, dance, blood, sweat, injuries... and it was all WORTH IT!" The film has been directed by Ayan Mukerji, mostly known for his romantic films.
The film will release in theatres on August 14.

Coolie Day 6 India Box Office Estimates: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's movie drops further on Tuesday; Grosses Rs 9.50 crore
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth, is not trending well at the box office after an exceptional extended first weekend where it grossed Rs 227.25 crore in India. The movie could have even smashed Rs 250 crore, but due to the clash with War 2 and due to mixed word of mouth, it couldn't reach its desired potential. On Monday, the movie dropped big, grossing only Rs 13 crore, almost 80 percent down from Independence Day Friday and around 85 percent down from the opening day Friday. Coolie Adds Rs 9.50 Crore Gross In India On 1st Tuesday; Cume Reaches Rs 250 Crore On its first Tuesday, Coolie ended up putting a single digit number for the first time in its run. The actioner only grossed Rs 9.50 crore, dropping almost 30 percent from an already low Monday. The total of the movie, now is at just a little under Rs 250 crore. With these kind of drops, the movie won't be able to do much more than Rs 300 crore in India. If the film got its desired word of mouth, no number would have really been small enough for it. We could have fancied even Rs 450 crore in India and Rs 700 crore worldwide. Now, the revised global target is to somehow reach Rs 500 crore but that won't be easy, seeing the drops. The Day Wise India Gross Collections Of Coolie Are As Under Coolie will still end up as one of the top 5 or top 6 highest grossing Kollywood movies of all time at the worldwide box office. It may always be looked at as a lost opportunity, but that doesn't mean that the movie is not a hit. It is very much a hit if the irrational buy prices are kept on the side. Coolie In Theatres

War 2 Day 6 India Box Office: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani's spy movie stabilizes on Discount Tuesday; Grosses Rs 10 crore
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani, for the second time in its run, showed some stability and promise at the box office. On Tuesday, the collections of the actioner grew slightly, courtesy the Discount Tuesday offer. It collected Rs 10.50 crore gross and that's a poor number on face value, but given the dropping trend, this little bump in collections is a silver lining. War 2 Adds Rs 10.50 Crore Gross On 1st Tuesday At The India Box Office; Hits Rs 220 Crore The total collections of War 2 after 6 days stand at Rs 220 crore gross and the movie heads for a Rs 235 crore week 1, as the collections are expected to come down to normal levels on Wednesday. War 2 has an open 2nd week, but it won't be able to utilise it the way it would have liked. Even if the movie manages to hold at low levels for the rest of its run, it won't touch Rs 300 crore gross in all languages. The collections at the overseas box office are slowing down too, so a lifetime number of Rs 350 - 375 crore is what is expected now. The Day Wise Gross India Collections Of War 2 Are Are Under Day India Gross Collections Thursday Rs 59 crore Friday Rs 67 crore Saturday Rs 38 crore Sunday Rs 36 crore Monday Rs 9.50 crore Tuesday Rs 10.50 crore Total Rs 220 crore gross in 6 days War 2 Is The Biggest Shocker Of 2025 At The Box Office War 2 is the year's biggest shocker. Expected to be the 2025's highest grossing movie at the start of the year, War 2 will now end up as one of the rare movies in 2025 to lose any money. Due to non-theatrical revenue sources, even the films that don't do too well, don't lose money. However, War 2 is going to end up facing losses, and so will the Andhra distributor. That's not all. The talent in the film had a semi-backend deal locked with the production house. Now that the movie has not done well and there are no surplus profits, Hrithik and Jr NTR won't get their deserved remuneration.

Dragon: Jr NTR's House Set Built For Whopping Rs 15 Crore? Here's What We Know
Last Updated: Jr NTR's Dragon is set to feature a lavish Rs 15 crore house set at Ramoji Film City. Directed by Prashanth Neel, the film begins its next action-packed schedule in September. Jr NTR briefly shot for Dragon last month before stepping away to promote War 2, where he shared screen space with Hrithik Roshan. With promotions now complete, the actor is set to dedicate his full attention to the Prashanth Neel directorial. The film's first schedule was shot in the coastal town of Kumta, Uttara Kannada, offering a scenic backdrop along the Konkan coast. Expansive factory sets were created for the ten-day schedule. However, unpredictable weather forced the production to move away from outdoor shoots in the region. Rs 15 Crore Spent On Jr NTR's House Set To ensure seamless progress, the team shifted to Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, where multiple elaborate sets are being built. Among them, the most striking is Jr NTR's on-screen residence. According to a report in Filmfare, the house set alone is valued at a staggering Rs 15 crore. Designed with precision, it will feature curated artefacts, custom wall hangings, and detailed colour schemes, making it a key visual element of the narrative. This extravagant investment reflects the film's larger-than-life approach and Neel's commitment to world-building. Next Major Schedule Begins September Currently on a short festive break, Jr NTR will rejoin the sets after Vinayaka Chaturthi. The next schedule, starting in early September, will run for a month in Hyderabad and will largely revolve around high-octane action sequences. With Prashanth Neel at the helm and Jr NTR's star power, Dragon is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious films in recent times.
