The entertainment industry is buzzing with the impending box office clash between ‘War 2’ and ‘Coolie.’ ‘War 2’, produced by Yash Raj Films, is strategically positioned to lead in the Hindi market, while ‘Coolie’, headlined by Rajinikanth, aims to dominate the South. Actors from both films shared their views on the upcoming releases. Nagarjuna and Aamir Khan, key members of the ‘Coolie’ cast, were among those who commented. Nagarjuna predicts that both movies will be successful due to their strong casts and their ability to attract audiences from different regions. Aamir Khan advocates for a non-competitive perspective, emphasizing the possibility of both films succeeding, similar to his film ‘Lagaan’ alongside ‘Gadar’. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh notes that ‘War 2’ has secured the majority of screens in North India, while ‘Coolie’ is expected to lead in international markets and Tamil Nadu. The excitement around the Rajinikanth-Lokesh Kanagaraj collaboration is at an all-time high. ‘War 2’ is anticipated to perform well in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh due to Jr. NTR’s massive popularity. Producer and box office analyst Girish Johar anticipates that ‘War 2’ will resonate with audiences in the North, while ‘Coolie’ will appeal to the South. Trade expert Atul Mohan points out that ‘Coolie’ is trying to attract audiences in the North, while ‘War 2’ is primarily targeting the Hindi belt. The Telugu market is expected to be strongly influenced by the fanbase of Jr. NTR.
