Naga Vamsi on War 2’s performance

While promoting his upcoming film Mass Jathara, Naga Vamsi joined actor Ravi Teja for a discussion with director Kalyan Shankar on Sithara Entertainments’ YouTube channel. He candidly addressed War 2’s box office failure, stating, “Mistakes happen. Everyone makes mistakes at some point. Aditya Chopra is one of the top producers in Indian cinema. NTR and I placed our trust in YRF blindly, but it misfired.”

He also reflected on being trolled for a film he didn’t produce, saying, “The mistake is on their side, but we faced the consequences (laughs). We weren’t involved in the production. I take comfort in knowing that the negative feedback wasn’t for a project of ours.” Prior to the film’s release, Naga Vamsi encouraged audiences to support the Telugu version, hoping it would outperform the Hindi version on opening day, yet the film fell short during its debut weekend.

Details about War 2

Directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 is the sixth installment in YRF’s spy universe. It stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in the lead, with Kiara Advani and Ashutosh Rana in key roles. The film had a promising start, generating ₹52 crore on its first day; however, mixed to negative reviews led to a swift decline in revenue by its first Monday.

The film was released alongside Rajinikanth’s Coolie, ultimately raking in just ₹236.55 crore net within India, and ₹364.35 crore globally, against an estimated budget of ₹400 crore.
