Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR’s War 2 Joins Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Jawan, Among Others in BookMyShow's 500K Interest Club; Becomes 7th Bollywood Film Overall
Mumbai, August 5 – The buzz around Yash Raj Films' highly anticipated spy action thriller War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, is soaring as the film is getting nearer its release date, which is August 14. The film is directed by Ayan Mukerji, marking his debut Spy Universe film. ## Ahead of the grand worldwide release, War 2 has crossed the 500K interest mark on BookMyShow, India's leading ticketing platform. With this feat, War 2 becomes only the seventh Bollywood film to enter this elite club, joining Shah Rukh Khan's mega blockbusters like Pathaan and Jawan, among other films. ## What makes this milestone even more impressive is that War 2 has reportedly achieved the 500K mark in record time. The excitement surrounding the YRF Spy Universe's next chapter — directed by Ayan Mukerji — is bolstered by the first-time on-screen face-off between Hrithik Roshan and Telugu superstar Jr. NTR, making it a rare pan-India event film. ## This latest achievement places War 2 among a prestigious list of high-profile releases. Prabhas-fronted Adipurush continues to lead the BookMyShow chart with 1.1 million interests, the only Bollywood film to hit a million interests on the platform. Adipurush, however, is billed as a bilingual film, in Hindi and Telugu. ## SRK's Jawan is the second in the list with 732K, followed by Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (725K), Pathaan (722K), and Singham Again (644K). War 2 now joins Tiger 3 (526K) in the 500K+ club, reaffirming the film's blockbuster potential. Although BMS interest is not a box office guarantee, it does indicate the solid hype around a film. ## Despite some reports of a slow advance booking trend in the U.S., particularly for the Hindi version, the overall anticipation remains sky-high. With its Independence Day weekend release date set for August 14, 2025, War 2 is expected to dominate both the Indian and overseas box office charts as one of the biggest releases of the year. ## Stay tuned...
