With less than a month to go for its theatrical release, War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR , has already pulled off a major pre-release move in the Telugu market. Well-known producer and distributor Naga Vamsi of Sithara Entertainment has acquired the Telugu distribution rights of the film, reportedly shelling out a massive Rs 80 crore. The action thriller, directed by Ayan Mukerji, is one of the most anticipated releases of the year and a key instalment in the YRF Spy Universe. With the teaser already generating immense buzz, War 2 is scheduled to hit theatres on August 14 in both standard and IMAX formats. Naga Vamsi says War 2 will mark a hat-trick with Jr NTR Reuniting with Jr NTR after previously working on Aravindha Sametha and Devara, Naga Vamsi expressed confidence that War 2 will complete a hat-trick of successes. Taking to Twitter, he wrote: 'Yes... it's War 2... Couldn't be happier to reunite with my dearest @tarak9999 anna.

This decision, according to insiders, is designed to heighten audience excitement and preserve the surprise of their on-screen chemistry. Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR to Avoid Joint Promotions for War 2 Produced by Yash Raj Films , War 2 is a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War. It also continues the interlinked narrative of YRF's Spy Universe, which includes hits like Pathaan and Tiger 3. The screenplay is written by Shridhar Raghavan, with dialogues by Abbas Tyrewala. With a high-octane storyline and massive stakes involved, War 2 could prove to be a defining moment for Telugu distribution, especially if Naga Vamsi's big gamble pays off. While the producer hasn't officially confirmed the Rs 80 crore deal figure, industry sources suggest it marks one of the most expensive Telugu rights acquisitions for a Bollywood film.

Complaint Filed Against Vijay Deverakonda For Derogatory Remarks Against Tribals
Mumbai: Tollywood heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda has landed in a legal soup after a complaint was filed against him under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act by the Raidurgam police. VD allegedly made derogatory remarks against the tribal communities during a pre-release event of Suriya starrer "Retro" last month. Talking about the unfortunate Pahalgham attack, Vijay was heard saying during the event, 'The solution to what is happening in Kashmir is also to educate them (terrorists) and ensure they don't get brainwashed. What will they achieve? Kashmir belongs to India, and Kashmiris are ours. India doesn't even need to attack Pakistan because Pakistanis themselves are fed up with their government and will attack them if this continues. Asalu 500 years back tribals kokkutunnatu, veelu buddi lekunda, minimum common sense lekunda chese panulu.' (They behave like tribals did 500 years ago, fighting without common sense). These remarks were considered to be derogatory towards tribals by the tribal organizations. A section of the FIR read, "Film Actor Shri Vijay Deverakonda, who participated in the pre-release event of the movie 'Retro' starring Hero Surya, made comments that hurt the sentiments of the tribals and seriously insulted them. He insulted their tribal community by saying that they had beaten them 500 years ago without any intelligence and without minimum common sense. Moreover, he made comments comparing them to Pakistani terrorists. These comments, perceived as racially offensive, were broadcast across multiple media platforms. The statement went viral through the Sithara Entertainment YouTube Channel, which has 8.63 lakh subscribers and over 99,000 video views for the specific video [YouTube link: 'https/ si-8q-bRrdnr995bkjF' It further said "The remarks were viewed as a serious insult to the self-respect and dignity of the tribal community. Therefore, the complainant requested to take necessary action against Shri Vijay Devarakonda as per law." Vijay is yet to react to the complaint.
