Why Hrithik Roshan And Jr NTR Will Skip Joint Promotions For War 2
The cinematic clash between Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR in War 2 is set to be one of the most epic battles on the big screen. In a strategic move, the makers have decided to take a unique approach to promotions. Hrithik and Jr NTR will be promoting the film separately.
According to media reports, Yash Raj Films is using this unique strategy to maintain the surprise and intensity of their onscreen clash by keeping them apart during promotions.
'Hrithik & NTR will be promoting War 2 separately, and all plans have been made keeping in mind that they would never share the stage together, never be in any promotional video together pre-release and never be seen with each other," a source told the Hindustan Times.
The insider added, "Hrithik and NTR coming together is a once-in-a-lifetime cinematic moment in Indian cinema, and there will be a bloody carnage on the big screen. YRF is clear that the audience should first experience this rivalry before they see the two promote with camaraderie. They want to deliver the best movie-watching experience to people by preserving the conflict, which is the unique selling point of the film."
Last week, Hrithik Roshan shared fresh posters of himself from War 2 on Instagram. The poster offered a close-up shot of the actor looking fierce. He sported a bruised avatar, holding a weapon with a grim expression on his face. He returns as Major Kabir in the War sequel.
The caption read, 'This time he is ruthless, merciless, relentless and ready for WAR! Are you? The countdown begins now. 50 Days to War 2.'

Metro In Dino box office collection day 1: Anurag Basu film opens 300% higher than Life in a Metro, earns ₹3 crore
Metro in Dino box office collection day 1: Anurag Basu's musical romantic drama, which stars an ensemble cast of Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and Ali Fazal, was released in theatres amid much anticipation. As per the latest update on Sacnilk, the film made an opening day haul of ₹3.04 crore. Metro in Dino box office collection day 1: Sara Ali Khan plays Chumki in the film. Metro in Dino box office update The report states that Metro in Dino has collected an opening day figure of ₹3.04 crore, as per early estimates. The number may appear small if compared with some of the big Bollywood releases of recent times but is a good achievement for a film of this scale and genre. Romantic dramas do not take big openings in India. For instance, Life in a Metro, the 2007 sleeper hit, opened at just ₹80 lakh upon release. However, it built on its word of mouth to end up with a lifetime domestic collection of over ₹24 crore. Basu would hope that Metro In Dino can do something similar. Given the positive reviews the film has received, there are high chances of a positive word of mouth. About Metro in Dino The film revolves around four couples navigating the ups and downs of love and commitment in different cities.. The music has been composed by Pritam. It is the spiritual sequel to Life... In A Metro (2007), which was also directed by Anurag Basu, and starred Irrfan. Only Konkona from the main cast has returned for the sequel. An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, 'The film is an anthology, all connected by the thread of love, in different forms, at different ages. Falling in love with another person, falling in love with the same person again and again (that's marriage, as someone quips)... It's tough to pin down the plot neatly. Perhaps that's the point. One character rediscovers love in his wife, another reconnects with an old flame, while a third couple grapples with the conundrum: life or passion?'

After a slow start on its opening day, the film has more than doubled its collections, showing promising signs. According to the early estimates of industry tracker Sacnilk, Metro In Dino earned around ₹ 6 crore on day 2 at the box office. The website reported about 71.43% growth in business. With this, the total business made by the film is ₹ 9.5 crore. The film will cross ₹ 10 crore most likely. Metro... In Dino also witnessed an increase in footfall owing to the weekend. It had an overall 32.20% occupancy on Saturday among Hindi audience. The occupancy was as follows: Delhi NCR held the maximum number of screenings for the Anurag Basu film, along with the highest occupancy of all regions. Following closely is the Bollywood capital, Mumbai. Pune and Bengaluru also did well among other markets across India. Metro In Dino is the spiritual sequel of Anurag Basu's hit, Life In A Metro. The new installment, featuring fresh stories in the familiar format, stars Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles. The film is racing against Kajol's Maa, Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, Brad Pitt's F1 and Scarlett Johansson's Jurassic World: Rebirth at the box office. Talking about the film, Konkona Sen Sharma told Live Mint, "Different people will be able to relate to different aspects of love. A 40-year-old with a child will be able to relate to me and Pankaj Tripathi's story. Someone who is in their 20s will be able to relate to Sara (Ali Khan) and Aditya (Roy Kapur). It's not really that there's a moral or message to love; it's just relatability. It's just life showing we all go through this; you are not alone.' According to a report by Pinkvilla, Metro In Dino is made on a budget of ₹ 100 crore. Reportedly, ₹ 85 crore was spent on production and ₹ 15 crore on advertising. However, initial plan was to spend ₹ 65 crore but went ₹ 20 crore over budget, the publication claimed.
