After delivering five successful films, the franchise has faced its first big failure since 2012. Following the successes of <em>Pathaan<\/em> and <em>Tiger 3<\/em> earlier this year, expectations were high for Aditya Chopra&#8217;s <em>War 2<\/em>, starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a hefty budget of \u20b9450 crores for production, it seems the gamble didn&#8217;t pay off. Industry insiders have reported that Yash Raj Films (YRF) is set to incur substantial losses from <em>War 2<\/em>. While they have recouped around \u20b9150 crores through digital, satellite, and music rights, the best-case theatrical earnings are projected at just \u20b9140 crores worldwide. This puts YRF on track to lose approximately \u20b960 to \u20b970 crores.<\/p>\n<p>This failure is already being labeled as one of YRF&#8217;s biggest disappointments, alongside the notorious <em>Thugs of Hindostan<\/em>. Reports indicate that box office numbers are dropping sharply, potentially jeopardizing the entire franchise&#8217;s future. It\u2019s a challenging time for YRF as <em>War 2<\/em> impacts their plans for future spy films.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the film&#8217;s Telugu distributor, Naga Vamsi, faces significant losses, expecting to lose about 65% of his \u20b990 crore investment, with local earnings likely falling under \u20b940 crores.<\/p>\n<p>With past hits like <em>Ek Tha Tiger<\/em>, <em>Tiger Zinda Hai<\/em>, <em>War<\/em>, <em>Pathaan<\/em>, and <em>Tiger 3<\/em>, this downturn marks a notable moment in the YRF Spy Universe&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YRF&#8217;s Spy Universe Faces Major Setback with War 2 In just one week, the once-promising YRF Spy Universe has hit a major roadblock.
