Finally, this combination is getting broken, as Trivikram goes for another option this time and chooses to work with Harshavardhan Rameshwar, who has worked on all films of Sandeep Vanga.

The Tamil media reports suggest that Mari Selvaraj will be directing this project, and he already directed Udhay Stalin’s final film, Maamannan, which also starred Vadivelu.

War 2 OTT: Trolls or Cheers?

0

The digital release of War 2, the highly anticipated spy action drama featuring NTR and Hrithik Roshan, has fans buzzing with excitement. The big question now is whether the OTT release of War 2 will be met with cheers or face trolls.

Hrithik Roshan and NTR’s War 2 was released on the Independence weekend alongside Coolie and ended up as a big failure at the box office.  In Hindi the film at least sees some respectable numbers, but in Telugu the audiences completely rejected it.

War 2: Disappointing result in Theaters – Will it face the same result upon its OTT Release?

Even the regular section of audiences who watch big films also did not watch the film, and the other heroes’ fans and neutral audiences chose Coolie over the sequel of War.

The Telugu version of Coolie did better numbers than the Hrithik-NTR starrer, and many scenes faced backlash for illogical writing and execution.

War 2 is set to debut on Netflix for OTT streaming in a few hours, and it will be interesting to see if it attracts the same trolls as it did during its theatrical release, faces an even harsher response, or perhaps gets a better reception from OTT audiences who might watch it with lower expectations.
