exclusive conversation with Subash K jha, Mani replied, “It is a good question.
I don’t have an answer as yet. Working on a script. Will wait till it

NTR Jr is said to have entered the WAR 2 distribution
war in two Telugu States. Naga Vamso who has bought WAR 2 is said to have
enlisted NTR Jr in the fight against Asian Cinemas that includes Suneil Narang,
Suresh Babu and Dil Raju who are distributing Coolie. In the North Indian
scenario, War 2 has got 70 percent of the single screens and a chunk of
multiplexes. Afer Aamir’s intervention, PVR and other national chains have
allotted more screens but still Colie has only `5% of the market share. Read Boxofficeworldwide.
Com report on Andhra States: The presence of Jr NTR is reportedly the game-changer in this
screen-count war. As one of the biggest stars in Telugu cinema, his influence,
combined with that of respected distributor Naga Vamsi of Sitara Entertainment,
is a formidable force. Exhibitors across the region are reportedly
favouring War 2 to avoid any conflict with the powerful duo.
“NTR Jr. is an influential personality, same for Naga Vamsi. No one is willing
to upset them,” a source explained.
This
influence is expected to translate into a dominant screen share. While Asian
Cinemas is aiming for a 60:40 split, Sitara Entertainment is reportedly pushing
for a 70:30 ratio in favour of War 2. The source added, “NTR Jr.
too is flexing his equations and stardom to get premium showcasing and has
succeeded in doing so against Rajinikanth.” This advantage is not just limited
to the south, as War 2 is also expected to have a clear lead
in North India, ensuring a massive opening. While War 2 is
poised for a bigger start, the final verdict will only be delivered by
audiences when both films hit theatres on August 14.WAR 2 Hindi version is exactly 1 minute and
40 seconds longer than the other two- Tamil and Telugu..
