The highly anticipated spy action thriller War 2, produced by Yash Raj Films and featuring the powerhouse duo of Junior NTR and Hrithik Roshan, continues to be a hot topic in the entertainment industry. Beyond its massive hype generated by an explosive teaser, the latest buzz revolves around the impressive remunerations commanded by its lead stars, particularly the updated figures for Jr. NTR’s earnings, which have become a subject of considerable discussion.
Reports indicate that Jr. NTR, who previously commanded around Rs. 45 crores for his global blockbuster RRR and Rs. 60 crores for his upcoming film Devara, is now set to receive a staggering Rs. 60 crores for his role in War 2. This latest figure comes after earlier speculations suggested a reduced fee of Rs. 30 crores for his Bollywood debut. However, the current updates firmly place his earnings at the higher mark, cementing his status as one of the most sought-after actors in Indian cinema.
Hrithik Roshan, who reprises his iconic role from the 2019 blockbuster War, is reportedly commanding a substantial sum of Rs. 48 crores for the sequel. This figure, as per various Bollywood sources, reflects his consistent drawing power and established position in the industry. The comparison of these figures has led to a clear understanding that Jr. NTR’s remuneration for War 2 reportedly surpasses that of his co-star, Hrithik Roshan.
This decision by the producers is largely attributed to Jr. NTR’s burgeoning pan-India craze and his significantly growing box office market following his international acclaim with RRR. Recognizing his expanded appeal, Yash Raj Films has reportedly invested heavily to secure his presence, ensuring War 2 leverages his widespread popularity. The film, a crucial installment in the YRF Spy Universe, is set for a grand release in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil languages on August 14, 2025, promising an unforgettable cinematic spectacle.
