The much-awaited action thriller War 2, starring Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan and Tollywood icon Jr NTR, is gearing up for a grand release on August 14 across multiple languages. The hype around the film has reached new heights as advance booking figures show an extraordinary spike.

Initially, the film was selling around 2,500 tickets per hour by Tuesday evening. But soon after the announcement and opening of Telugu-language shows, sales skyrocketed to an impressive 25,000 tickets per hour—a massive 10x boost.

Trade analysts attribute this surge to Jr NTR’s huge fan base in the Telugu states and the strong buzz surrounding his collaboration with Hrithik Roshan for the first time. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and backed by YRF’s spy universe, War 2 promises high-octane action, lavish visuals, and a gripping cross-cultural cinematic experience.

With such overwhelming advance bookings, industry experts are predicting a record-breaking opening day collection, especially in both Hindi and Telugu markets.
