Box Office: War 2 Telugu states theatrical rights sold for Rs 90 crore, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer acquired by Naga Vamsi
War 2 is among the most anticipated movies of 2025. The Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer is seen as a front-runner to emerge as the biggest grosser of the year. While the movie is still 5 weeks away from its release, it is making waves for its historic pre-release business. War 2 locks the biggest deal for dubbed films in the Telugu states Pinkvilla learned that Yash Raj Films has inked a landmark deal with Naga Vamsi's Sithara Entertainments for the distribution rights of War 2. Reportedly, the leading South film production and distribution company has acquired the Telugu rights of War 2 to distribute it across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana at a staggering figure of Rs 90 crore minimum guarantee (MG). Interestingly, this is the biggest deal ever for a dubbed movie in the Telugu states in the history of Indian cinema. It includes theatrical distribution rights for all three versions- Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. War 2 to have a wide release in Telugu states, unlike other dubbed movies Usually, YRF doesn't believe in selling their films outright; however, they are opting for a rare strategy for War 2. The hype around War 2 skyrocketed ever since Jr NTR joined Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani. And since then, multiple leading players from the Southern film industries have approached Aditya Chopra to bag its distribution rights. Eventually, the deal got locked with Sithara Entertainment, following multiple weeks of negotiation. The makers believe that the Naga Vamsi company is the right contender to take War 2 to the grassroots of the Telugu heartland. Reportedly, the Ayan Mukerji directorial will not be treated like a regular dubbed movie, but it will be released in mass pockets across APTS like a true-blue local venture. War 2 to have 5 AM premiere shows across the Telugu states Jr NTR, who is playing Agent Vikram in War 2, is among the biggest stars of Telugu cinema. With Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR facing off against each other, the interest among exhibitors is at peak. The makers are planning to capitalise on the hype and Tarak's superstardom by organising a massive 5 AM premiere show of War 2 across the twin states. For the unversed, War 2 marks the entry of Jr NTR to the YRF Spy Universe, which already has bigwigs like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, and Kiara Advani. Slated to hit the screens on August 14, War 2 is the sixth film in the spy universe, following Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), War (2019), Pathaan (2023), and Tiger 3 (2023). The high-stakes deal between YRF and Sithara Entertainments signifies how a Pan-India movie should be marketed and distributed in the most passionate cinema markets. All eyes are now on the reception of War 2. It will be interesting to see whether the much-awaited movie can live up to the expectations or not. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

'Thug Life' OTT release: Kamal Haasan's starrer makes its OTT debut in multiple languages; find out where to watch
Picture Credit: Facebook After a disappointing theatrical release, the massive star-studded Kamal Haasan 's action-packed gangster drama 'Thug Life' has finally made its digital debut. The Mani Ratnam directorial, which hit the big screens on June 5 amid massive expectations, is now streaming on OTT. The film is now streaming on Netflix in five languages—Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam—from July 2. — Netflix_INSouth (@Netflix_INSouth) Despite the film's initial hype, 'Thug Life' came out as a disaster after failing to pull box office numbers. Initially, the makers had announced that the movie wouldn't arrive on digital platforms before completing an eight-week theatrical window. However, in a change of plans, 'Thug Life' arrived on OTT just under a month after its release. Netflix India officially confirmed the streaming release with a post on X (formerly Twitter): "Ithu Rangaraya Sakthivel-kum yamanukum nadakura poti. Watch Thug Life, now on Netflix in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam." 'Thug Life' is the story of Rangaraaya Sakthivel , a notorious gangster played by Kamal Haasan. During a violent shootout with a rival gang, Sakthivel saves and subsequently adopts a young orphan named Amaran, mistaking him for the boy who protected him during the crossfire. Years later, as Sakthivel returns from prison, he is faced with a dramatically changed world, one where Amaran has risen in influence and begun to be seen as his successor. The plot takes a dark turn as Amaran, now an adult, falls prey to manipulations and plots Sakthivel's assassination. The movie also features Silambarasan TR , Trisha Krishnan , Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nassar, Rohit Saraf , Joju George, and Mahesh Manjrekar. The music has been composed by Oscar winner AR Rahman. 'Thug Life' is the second collaboration between Kamal Haasan and director Mani Ratnam after the 1987 film 'Nayakan.' The film opened to mixed to negative reviews due to its pacing and weak storyline, which also led to a poor box office run. While it may not have made the desired impact in theaters, its OTT release gives the film a second life and perhaps a better chance to reach its intended audience.
