War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR in a negative-hued role, opened in cinemas on August 14 with massive expectations. The movie had a promising opening in its initial days, but the pace soon lost steam at the box office, resulting in significant losses for Yash Raj Films and some distributors. In spite of all the publicity surrounding the release, War 2 was unable to draw the desired figures, making it a commercial failure.
But this failure hasn’t dented Yash Raj Films’ faith in Hrithik Roshan. The house still supports the actor, acquiring co-production rights for his future ventures. This move is a testament to their belief in Hrithik’s box office drawing power despite War 2’s failure.
All attention now turns to Krrish 4, the follow-up to the immensely popular superhero series. The crew is already involved in pre-production planning, with shooting scheduled to take place next year and release planned for 2027. Yash Raj Films has already announced their status as co-producers, indicating firm confidence in Hrithik and the franchise’s long-standing popularity.
Fans and observers from the film industry too are waiting with bated breath to watch Hrithik Roshan reprise the superhero on the screens in 2027.
