Navneet had shared, 'I remember when Asoka (2001) had released, she wanted to be dressed like Kareena Kapoor. I had to make tattoos on her. Then I tied a scarf around her. I remember Saif Ali Khan came to my house. He looked at her with shock, like 'What are you doing?'! I clicked a picture at that very moment. Even Amrita is there in the picture.' When this picture went viral on social media, a netizen pointed out, 'Baby Sara was so cute....,' whereas another claimed, 'Sara also dressed up as Pooh and went to meet Kareena at K3G premiere.'

War 2 Movie: Release Date, Ticket prices, Advance Booking, Box Office Collection Prediction, other details

War 2 Movie Release Date: In the biggest cinematic showdown of the year, director Ayan Mukerji's action thriller War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in the lead roles, is set to lock horns with Lokesh Kanagaraj's Rajinikanth-led Coolie. While theatre owners across the country are hopeful that this would propel their business to loftier heights after the musical romantic drama Saiyaara effectively ended the dry spell, moviegoers are ecstatic and all set to turn this weekend into a festive affair. A sequel to Siddharth Anand's War (2019), the Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR-starrer serves as the sixth installment in the YRF Spy Universe. Given that it follows Salman Khan's Tiger 3 (2023), the last movie in the franchise that fell short of expectations and ultimately became an average success, production company Yash Raj Films (YRF) has pinned all hopes on War 2, expecting it to revive the film series. However, since the movie hits the screens alongside Coolie, it remains to be seen how far War 2 can go. Moreover, its performance will completely hinge on the responses of those who catch the initial shows. Ayan Mukerji's first directorial venture in the YRF Spy Universe, War 2 will hit the screens on Thursday, August 14, coinciding with the Independence Day weekend. Also starring Kiara Advani and Ashutosh Rana, the actioner boasts music by Pritam, cinematography by Benjamin Jasper ACS and editing by Aarif Sheikh. Touted as one of the most expensive Indian films of all time, War 2 has been mounted on an estimated budget of Rs 400 crore, according to Bollywood Hungama. As per a report by the publication, while Jr NTR was paid a staggering Rs 70 crore as remuneration, Hrithik Roshan has charged Rs 50 crore along with an additional clause for profit-sharing. Ahead of the release of the two movies, cinema halls have also jacked up ticket prices, with some soaring beyond Rs 2,000 in specific locations. While tickets cost Rs 300 and above at most multiplexes in Mumbai, the price of premium seats at some places has been listed on BookMyShow to cost Rs 700-800, and at fancier venues over Rs 1,000. As of 2 pm on Tuesday, the most expensive ticket being sold for War 2 in Mumbai is at Maison INOX at Jio World Plaza in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), where the price for prime recliner seats has been listed as Rs 2,620 and normal recliners as Rs 2,520 for an evening show. Regardless, this show too is almost sold out. Although War 2 is currently trailing behind in terms of advance booking, the figures still look serviceable. So far, the movie has grossed Rs 4.71 crore in India (Rs 9.1 crore including block seats), selling 1,44,081 tickets across 8,716 shows, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. Coolie, on the other hand, has already crossed the Rs 20 crore mark. While Tiger 3 had registered an advance booking gross of Rs 22.97 crore, Pathaan (2023) managed to record Rs 32.01 crore. Although the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer registered an India nett collection of Rs 57 crore on day one, the Salman Khan film made only Rs 44.5 crore. With Coolie as the main opponent, it remains to be seen if War 2 will manage to cross the these records in the domestic market.

'Tehran' actor John Abraham breaks silence on 'Chhaava' and 'The Kashmir Files' success: 'It's scary to me because...'

Abraham also revealed, 'We need censorship, but the way it has been overseen… it's a bit question mark.' read more John Abraham's film Tehran has been awaiting its release since 2023. It finally releases on Zee5 during the Independence Day weekend. And in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor broke his silence on the same. John revealed, 'It's very disheartening. I'm not going to mince my words on it, but it breaks your heart, especially for an actor who always wants to be seen on the big screen. But we all made a very informed decision on that. And the decision was that because of the conflicts and controversies that are happening around internationally.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD And in a recent interview with Rajdeep Sardesai, the actor revealed what he thinks of the success of films like Chhaava and The Kashmir Files. The actor was quoted saying in an interview recently, 'I haven't seen Chhaava, but I know that people have loved it and also The Kashmir Files. When films are being made with the intent to sway people in a hyper political environment and such films find an audience, that is scary for me.' John added, 'What is worrying to me is that right-wing films find a huge audience and that's when you ask yourself as a filmmaker what line will you toe — Am I going to take the commercial line or I'm going to stay true to what I want to say — and I have chosen the latter.' Abraham also revealed, 'We need censorship, but the way it has been overseen… it's a bit question mark. They have been good with us, but I have also been responsible with the way I have made my films. I am not right or left wing. I am apolitical.' And the director of the film Arun Gopal has spilled the beans on the idea of the film and said, 'What initially drew me in was the sheer intrigue of an espionage'ish thriller set against a backdrop we rarely get to explore cinematically - the geopolitical landscape of the Iran-Israel conflict.'
