War 2 cast salary: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR's big paychecks revealed, says report. Who else earned what?
As anticipation builds for the Independence Day release of War 2 , fresh reports have surfaced revealing the hefty pay packages for the film's leading stars. Headlined by Hrithik Roshan and marking Jr NTR's Bollywood debut, the upcoming installment in Yash Raj Films' Spy Universe has become the talk of the industry — not only for its scale, but also for the unprecedented remuneration involved. Hrithik Roshan's Deal According to a Bollywood Hungama report, Hrithik Roshan has signed a high-value agreement with YRF that includes a Rs 50 crore upfront payment along with a backend profit-sharing deal. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category Digital Marketing Others MCA Public Policy Artificial Intelligence Data Analytics Design Thinking MBA Operations Management Data Science CXO healthcare Leadership Finance PGDM Product Management Healthcare Data Science Management Technology Degree others Cybersecurity Project Management Skills you'll gain: Digital Marketing Strategy Search Engine Optimization (SEO) & Content Marketing Social Media Marketing & Advertising Data Analytics & Measurement Duration: 24 Weeks Indian School of Business Professional Certificate Programme in Digital Marketing Starts on Jun 26, 2024 Get Details Skills you'll gain: Digital Marketing Strategies Customer Journey Mapping Paid Advertising Campaign Management Emerging Technologies in Digital Marketing Duration: 12 Weeks Indian School of Business Digital Marketing and Analytics Starts on May 14, 2024 Get Details Roshan reprises his role as Major Kabir Dhaliwal from the 2019 blockbuster War, and his continued collaboration with producer Aditya Chopra through this profit-sharing setup further strengthens his position in YRF's expanding Spy Universe. Jr NTR's Bollywood Debut Paycheck South Indian star Jr NTR, who makes his Hindi film debut with War 2, has reportedly been paid a massive Rs 70 crore, as per the same Bollywood Hungama report. This figure marks the highest ever fee for an actor debuting in Bollywood, signaling both his pan-India appeal and the production's ambition to capture audiences across regional markets. Despite Jr NTR's impressive fan base, trade analysts believe Hrithik Roshan continues to hold dominant appeal in the Hindi belt and southern markets, thanks to his legacy roles, especially the Krrish franchise. Supporting Cast Salaries Also Significant According to Bollywood Hungama, the film's lead actress, Kiara Advani , is said to have received Rs 15 crore for her role as Kavya Luthra, while veteran actor Anil Kapoor, who plays a pivotal part, has been paid Rs 10 crore. Although Kapoor doesn't appear in the trailer, his presence adds weight to the star-studded cast. Director Ayan Mukerji, known for helming films like Brahmastra, has reportedly been paid Rs 30 crore. With a reported production cost of Rs 400 crore (excluding marketing), War 2 has become YRF's most expensive film to date — surpassing previous high-budget entries like Tiger 3 and Pathaan. The acting salaries alone account for around Rs 150 crore of the budget, according to the salaries mentioned in the report. The film's trailer, which dropped on July 25, 2025, received mixed feedback but has generated considerable buzz ahead of its August 14 release. As part of the Spy Universe, the movie will be released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, with plans for a wide IMAX rollout.

THIS Ram Gopal Varma heroine was once touted as the next Urmila Matondkar, quit films after 12 years, later accused of abandoning ailing father
Antara Mali, once hailed as a rising star under Ram Gopal Varma's guidance, debuted in Bollywood with high expectations, showcasing her talent in films like 'Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon.' Despite critical acclaim, she never achieved superstardom, later venturing into direction before unexpectedly leaving the industry after her marriage. In an industry where fame is fleeting and talent doesn't always guarantee longevity, Antara Mali 's story stands out as both promising and puzzling. Once projected as the next Urmila Matondkar and a frequent collaborator of Ram Gopal Varma , Antara seemed poised for stardom. But after a dozen years in the spotlight, she chose to walk away—leaving behind a brief yet memorable legacy, and later, headlines for reasons far removed from cinema. Early Break and RGV 's Muse Daughter of renowned photographer Jagdish Mali, Antara made her Bollywood debut in 1998 with Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge!. While the film failed at the box office, her screen presence didn't go unnoticed. It was filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma who spotted her potential early on and soon became a key figure in shaping her cinematic journey. Notable Roles but Missed Stardom RGV cast her in several of his projects, including the Telugu film Prem Katha, Mast (1999), Road (2002), Company (2002)—where she played Ajay Devgn 's wife—and Darna Mana Hai (2003). Her most acclaimed role came in Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon, a tribute to the legendary actress. While critics praised her performance, the film failed to click with audiences. Despite multiple opportunities and RGV's unwavering support, Antara never quite reached the stardom many had predicted for her. Behind the Camera By 2005, Antara took a bold step to steer her career by directing and starring in Mr Ya Mrs, a comedy-drama that unfortunately didn't make a mark. The film failed to revive her slipping stardom. She made one final attempt at a comeback in 2010 with Amol Palekar 's ...And Once Again, but the film went unnoticed. After that, Antara quietly exited the film industry for good. In 2009, the actress tied the knot with Che Kurrien, the editor of GQ India. The couple later welcomed a daughter. Choosing a life away from the spotlight, Antara stepped back entirely from public life, dedicating herself to her family and keeping her personal affairs strictly private. Controversy and Public Scrutiny She returned to the headlines in January 2013—but this time, not for her films. Actress Mink Brar alleged that she found Antara's father, renowned photographer Jagdish Mali, wandering semi-nude on the streets of Versova. Brar accused Antara of neglecting her ailing father, a claim that sparked widespread concern, controversy, and criticism in the media. Quiet Farewell At the time, Antara —who was pregnant—responded strongly to the allegations. She clarified that her father was not mentally ill but occasionally experienced disorientation due to diabetes. Antara accused Mink Brar of exploiting the situation for publicity and maintained that her father was otherwise being cared for. Tragically, Jagdish Mali passed away just a few months later, on May 13, 2013. Since 2010, Mali has remained completely out of the limelight—no films, no interviews, and no public appearances. Her quiet departure from Bollywood stands as one of the industry's most understated exits—a talented actress who once held immense promise but ultimately chose a path far removed from fame.
