War 2 is undoubtedly some of the anticipated Indian movies in recent times. Starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, it has huge potential, and lots of pre-existing records are expected to be broken easily. Nevertheless, it won’t be a solo ride for YRF’s magnum opus as Rajinikanth’s Coolie is clashing with it, thus making it a high-voltage clash on the box office. But before the box office battle happens, let’s discover where each biggies stand within the Telugu states’ theatrical distribution rights.
War 2 is having fun with huge buzz within the Telugu states
The War sequel already had huge buzz around itself, however the casting of Jr NTR has made it a real pan-India film, and the hype has gone to the following level. No matter the content, the magnum opus is predicted to wreak havoc at ticket windows, at the least throughout the first few days. And even with decent content, it would break several records. Considering such a possible, YRF was offered several big deals in exchange for distribution rights within the Telugu states (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana).
Jr NTR’s stardom helps the film to lock a rocking deal
As per Track Tollywood‘s report, Naga Vamsi expressed his interest in bagging War 2’s theatrical rights and offered a colossal 80 crores to YRF. However, YRF is trying to earn more money and has quoted 100 crores in exchange for the rights of the Telugu states. While the deal is yet to be locked, it’s learned that Vamsi is more likely to acquire the rights with a final price between 80 and 90 crores.
War 2 is way ahead of Coolie within the pre-release battle in Telugu states
The abovementioned price is big and speaks volumes of Jr NTR’s stardom within the Telugu states. Talking about War 2‘s competitor, Coolie has also locked a formidable deal. Rajinikanth enjoys a large fan base in Telugu states, which has helped his magnum opus to secure a reported deal of 44 crores despite a clash.
If we have a look at the general picture, so far as Telugu states are concerned, War 2 is ahead of Coolie with 81.81-104.54% higher price in exchange of theatrical distribution rights.
