Hindi movie War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, failed to meet expectations at the box office, turning into a clear disappointment despite massive pre-release hype. The film’s poor performance also led to several rumors about heavy losses faced by Telugu distributor and producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi, who handled the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana distribution.
Putting an end to the speculation, Naga Vamsi revealed how Yash Raj Films supported him after the losses. According to him, the War 2 Telugu rights were acquired for Rs 68 crores, excluding GST. Yash Raj Films had already paid the GST amount before release.
At the box office, War 2 managed to generate only around Rs 35 to 40 crores in share from the Telugu states, leading to losses. However, Naga Vamsi confirmed that Yash Raj Films voluntarily stepped in and refunded Rs 18 crores to him after the release. This compensation was part of a pre-agreed arrangement to cover losses in case the film underperformed.
Finally, the producer with the Telugu rights managed to get some compensation, but Jr NTR's big dream to launch himself in Bollywood with War 2 didn't materialise, and he might just need to wait for another right project.
