War 2 leaves YRF with losses of approx. Rs. 60 crores

Within a span of 7 days, everything around the YRF Spy Universe has come crashing down. What looked like a franchise that couldn’t go wrong - with back-to-back 5 hit films - witnessed the first failure since 2012.

After successfully delivering Pathaan and Tiger 3 in 2023, the hopes were high for Aditya Chopra's War 2 with Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr. in the lead.

To make it a tentpole feature spectacle for the viewers, Aditya Chopra left no stone unturned by mounting it on a historical budget of Rs. 450 crores (All Inclusive).

However, the production house's risk has not paid off. Reliable industry sources have confirmed that YRF will be losing big money on War 2.

The source further confirmed that this is the biggest disaster for YRF in the modern era, along with the Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan film Thugs of Hindostan.

The losses to YRF aside, the Telugu distributor of the film, Naga Vamsi, too, will lose 65 percent of his investment.

After back-to-back hits in the form of Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3, War 2 is the first failure from the YRF Spy Universe.
