War 2 Telugu distributor Naga Vamsi calls Ayan Mukerji film YRF’s ‘mistake’
According to Naga Vamsi, War 2 was a mistake on part of Yash Raj Films.
Prior to the release of Ayan Mukerji’s spy thriller War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and
Jr NTR, at a promotional event in Hyderabad, producer Naga Vamsi showered praises on the film.
at a promotional event Vamsi, who distributed the film in the Telugu markets of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, encouraged fans of Telugu superstar Jr NTR to make the dubbed Telugu version of the film an even bigger hit than the original Hindi version.
However, his claim fell flat on his face when War 2 underperformed not only in Hindi but across all regional languages at the domestic box office. The Telugu version opened lower (Rs 22.75 crore) than the Hindi version (Rs 29 crore) on its opening day on August 14 on the occasion of Independence Day eve.
Finall, the Hindi version grossed Rs 177.59 crore, whereas the Telugu version could only garner Rs 56.74 crore, less than
one-third of the Hindi version, following the film’s five-week run.
