War 2 Cast Fees: Here's How Much Jr NTR, Hrithik Roshan And Kiara Advani Are Earning
Last Updated: Alongside Jr NTR and Hrithik Roshan, other cast members and director Ayan Mukerji have reportedly received hefty paychecks for War 2. Ayan Mukerji's upcoming action thriller War 2 is shaping up to be a big-budget spectacle, packed with adrenaline-pumping moments and stunning visuals. Starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, the film has already generated significant buzz, particularly around the duo's high-octane on-screen clash. The recently released trailer has left fans in awe with its grand scale and intense action sequences. Produced by Yash Raj Films (YRF), War 2 is not just an action-packed entertainer; it also comes with high financial stakes. Jr NTR, making his much-anticipated Bollywood debut, is reportedly the highest-paid star in the film. Alongside him and Hrithik, the rest of the cast and the director have also secured impressive paychecks. Who Else Is Earning Big In The War 2 Team? According to a report in Times Now, Jr NTR, riding high on the success of RRR and the upcoming Devara Part 1, has charged a staggering ₹60 crore for his Bollywood debut in War 2, making him the highest-paid actor in the film. If reports are to be believed, Hrithik Roshan, reprising his role as Kabir Dhaliwal from the 2019 blockbuster, has been paid ₹48 crore for War 2. Despite being a central figure in the franchise, his fee is lower than that of Jr NTR, who plays the film's antagonist. Meanwhile, Kiara Advani, who grabbed attention with her bold look in the trailer, has reportedly received ₹15 crore for her role. Here's Everything About War 2 War 2 marks Ayan Mukerji's fourth directorial venture after Wake Up Sid, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva. Despite having a relatively short filmography, Ayan has emerged as one of the most talked-about directors in the industry, known for his visionary storytelling and distinctive style. His creative reputation has earned him a substantial paycheck of ₹32 crore for helming this YRF project. Slated for release on August 14, War 2 is being made on a massive budget of approximately ₹200 crore. With this high-octane thriller, Yash Raj Films aims to enter the coveted ₹1,000 crore club. The film is part of YRF's growing spy universe, which already boasts blockbuster hits like the Tiger franchise starring Salman Khan and Pathaan with Shah Rukh Khan. The universe is set to expand further with Alpha, the first female-led spy film in the series, featuring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' box-office update: Pawan Kalyan's comeback witnesses a sharp decline on day 2
Pawan Kalyan's latest cinematic venture kicked off with remarkable numbers on its opening day, marking one of the strongest debuts in his film career. However, the momentum quickly fizzled, as audience interest waned on the second day. This resulted in a considerable slump in ticket sales. Despite the sharp drop, the film still managed to surpass ₹50 crore in total collections within two days. According to box office analytics firm Sacnilk, the film opened with a substantial Rs 34.75 crore on day one. However, both critical reviews and general audience feedback were underwhelming, which likely contributed to the movie's sudden decline in performance. Day two saw a stark contrast in revenue, with the film earning just Rs 8.79 crore, a significant fall from its opening day. Nevertheless, the overall tally has reached Rs 55.27 crore, keeping hopes afloat for a possible rebound.

Morning shows clocked in at 17.75%, afternoon screenings at 20.17%, and the evening shows saw a slightly better turnout of 27.21%. The situation bears similarity to Ram Charan's Game Changer, which also began on a high note, pulling in ₹51 crore on its first day. However, it too saw a massive 57% decline on the second day, slipping to Rs 21.6 crore. Despite the initial buzz, Game Changer eventually failed to sustain momentum and was declared a box office disaster. It remains uncertain whether Hari Hara Veera Mallu can buck the trend and attract moviegoers over the weekend. Storyline and Production Details Hari Hara Veera Mallu is a historical action-adventure film presented in Telugu. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi with contributions from A. M. Jyothi Krishna and a screenplay by Sai Madhav Burra, the movie features Pawan Kalyan in the lead. He is joined by Bobby Deol and Nidhhi Agerwal in prominent roles. The plot revolves around the rebel Veera Mallu, who embarks on a daring journey that brings him face-to-face with Mughal emperor Aurangzeb as he seeks the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Day 2 box office collection: Pawan Kalyan's film mints THIS amount as numbers dip
'Hari Hara Veera Mallu – Part 1: Sword vs Spirit' witnessed a significant drop in box office collections on its second day, Friday (Day 2), after a strong start earlier in the week. The film collected ₹ 6.17 crore on Day 2, bringing its total earnings in India to ₹ 53.67 crore. The film, which opened with ₹ 12.75 crore on its preview day (Wednesday), gained momentum with a massive ₹ 34.75 crore collection on its official opening day (Thursday). However, the Friday dip suggests a cooling off in audience enthusiasm despite strong regional appeal. The Telugu version continues to dominate the numbers, with minimal contributions from dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. On Day 1, the Telugu collection stood at ₹ 34.65 crore out of ₹ 34.75 crore total, indicating where the film's core strength lies. In terms of theatre occupancy, Day 2 saw a decline across key regions. Telugu 2D occupancy was recorded at 17.75% for morning shows, 20.17% in the afternoon, and 27.21% by evening. Among cities, Warangal reported the highest occupancy at 31%, followed by Mahbubnagar at a surprising 45.33%. Other regions such as Hyderabad (25.67%), Vijayawada (25.33%), and Kakinada (26.33%) remained strong. Meanwhile, metro cities like Mumbai (12.67%) and Delhi NCR (7%) posted much lower figures. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and starring Pawan Kalyan, the historical action drama is positioned as a major cinematic event. However, the sharp fall on Day 2 could be a concern for long-term sustainability, especially with the weekend footfall now crucial for the film's momentum. Whether 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu 2' can regain its pace over the weekend remains to be seen, but its performance so far has been a mix of strong starts and quick slowdowns—typical of star-driven regional blockbusters.
