War 2 EXCLUSIVE: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer is expected to be ‘one of the biggest openings ever’ says film exhibitor Vishek Chauhan; ‘Going to be mayhem’
Yash Raj Films is gearing up for War 2, the sequel to War (2019), which starred Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff as leads. The upcoming film is bringing back Hrithik Roshan as the lead. It will also feature South star Jr. NTR in a crucial role. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 also has Kiara Advani and Anil Kapoor. Hrithik and Jr NTR’s film, War 2, is expected to be ‘one of the biggest openings ever’. A film exhibitor shared that it is ‘going to be mayhem’.
In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, film exhibitor Vishek Chauhan spoke about Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR collaborating for YRF’s production venture, War 2.
“One collaboration that I am really looking forward to is War 2 and I think it is going to be mayhem with (Jr. NTR) down south pulling his fan base and Hrithik (Roshan) up north and then the spy universe in itself is a brand. I think we are looking at one of the biggest openings ever,” Vishek said.
Talking about Jr NTR, Vishek added, “The way he has opened Devara if he can pull that kind of audience then the spy universe pulls its own audience then…(Hrithik will also bring his own),” he added.
The film exhibitor called such collaborations “healthy” and hoped that South star Vijay, also known as Thalapathy and Shah Rukh Khan work together in a film. The exhibitor stressed that the industry needs such collaborations to “scale things up” at the box office.
