During the podcast with Vijay Vikram Singh, Abhishek Mukherjee revealed that while the Hindi Bigg Boss seasons have had their share of incidents, one of the most challenging moments for him was when a contestant from a regional language version of Bigg Boss threatened suicide after locking herself in the washroom. He said, 'I was always particular about pushing human emotions only to an extent that is needed. Sometimes when you cross that line, things can get out of hand. We never cross that line, but in one of the regional languages, one popular actress had a breakup outside, and that's why she entered the show. It was a bad breakup, and soon she fell in love with someone in the house. However, that guy cheated on her during the show. When she found out, one of the nights in Lonavala at around 3 am, she tried to commit suicide. She had forgotten that she was on the show.'

Recalling how the woman felt cheated, he said, 'The guy was only doing the love angle for TV, and the girl couldn't gauge that. When she found out, she threatened suicide. We got the call and ran to the set. Luckily, we have a psychiatrist on board always, and he is available on call 24X7, so he was called. But we had to buy time till the psychiatrist reached Lonavala from Mumbai, so we kept talking to the girl from 3:30 to 6:45 am till the psychiatrist reached,' Abhsihek Mukherjee added. Later, that contestant was evicted from Bigg Boss on medical grounds.

As per industry tracker Sacnilk, War 2 collected Rs 33 crore on day 3. War 2 Box Office Collection Detailed Analysis Ayan Mukerji's directorial, featuring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani in lead roles, was released on August 14, alongside Rajinikanth's Coolie.

War 2 box office collection on day 1 was Rs 51 crore, with the Hindi belt earning Rs 29 crore. However, what no one expected was the rise in numbers on the second day of release.

War 2 Competition From Rajinikanth's Coolie War 2 clashed at the box office with Rajinikanth's Coolie as both the movies were released on the same day. While War 2 earned Rs 51 crore on day 1, Rajinikanth's film minted Rs 65 crore on day 1, which indeed was a huge difference. However, both the movies managed to enter the Rs 100 crore club in just three days. War 2 Review War 2 movie review by reads, 'The plot of War 2 is painfully predictable, the VFX are subpar, and the dialogues often border on cringeworthy. Hrithik's much-hyped mass entry and a few well-executed action scenes are the only moments worth noting.'
