Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR\u2019s intense face-off in War 2 leaves fans debating the real hero.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The underwhelming performance of War 2 has sent shockwaves across Yash Raj Films (YRF), forcing the studio to rethink its much-hyped Spy Universe plans. The Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer, expected to be a massive box office event, opened decently but soon lost momentum, struggling to cross the Rs 300 crore mark worldwide.<\/p>\n

Now, reports suggest that YRF has shelved its ambitious plan of creating a standalone film around Jr NTR\u2019s character, Agent Vikram. According to a Bollywood Hungama report, a source revealed, \u201cYRF had ambitious plans to capitalise on the Pan India popularity of Jr NTR and make a spin-off to the character of Agent Vikram. The creative team was already developing a standalone film, but the failure of War 2 has halted the entire process.”<\/p>\n

Aditya Chopra\u2019s Big Move<\/strong><\/p>\n

Industry insiders claim Aditya Chopra has decided not to move forward with the Agent Vikram film, instead focusing on reworking the Spy Universe\u2019s direction. Reportedly, Chopra communicated this decision directly to Jr NTR, who agreed with the call and exited the project on amicable terms.<\/p>\n

The source added, \u201cAgent Vikram film is not a feasible move anymore, and Adi has conveyed the same to Jr NTR. The Man of Masses also agreed to Adi\u2019s point of view and has parted ways with the banner on a very healthy note.”<\/p>\n

The standalone film had been one of the key conditions for Jr NTR signing on to War 2, making this development particularly significant.<\/p>\n

War 2 Box Office & What\u2019s Next<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite high expectations, War 2 saw a sharp decline after its initial days. On its 12th day, the film earned just Rs 1.01 crore, a far cry from its opening. As of early estimates, the movie\u2019s India net collection stood at Rs 223.01 crore.<\/p>\n

The film is slated to stream on Netflix following its theatrical run, though an official OTT release date has not yet been announced. Typically, Bollywood blockbusters arrive on streaming platforms six to eight weeks after release.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, YRF is pushing ahead with Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, which is set to release around Christmas 2025. With the Agent Vikram spin-off scrapped, all eyes are on how Aditya Chopra reconfigures the Spy Universe after this setback.<\/p>\n
