\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"YRF<\/p>\n

When Yash Raj Films (YRF) announced the casting of NTR alongside Hrithik Roshan in \u201cWar 2,\u201d the decision raised eyebrows.<\/p>\n

Many questioned why a top Telugu star like NTR would play a non-solo lead in a Bollywood film, and others wondered why YRF needed another big star when Hrithik Roshan was already headlining the project.<\/p>\n

However, both YRF and NTR seem to have made smart business moves.<\/p>\n

Reports suggest NTR was paid Rs 60 crore for his Hindi debut. It is a significant paycheck, especially since he isn\u2019t playing the sole lead.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, this figure is slightly higher than Hrithik Roshan\u2019s reported remuneration of Rs 50 crore. From NTR\u2019s perspective, it\u2019s a strategic choice: a high-profile Bollywood debut with a strong paycheck.<\/p>\n

For YRF, the move has paid off handsomely. The studio reportedly sold the Telugu theatrical rights to producer Naga Vamsi for Rs 80 crore.<\/p>\n

After deducting NTR\u2019s Rs 60 crore remuneration, YRF is already sitting on a Rs 20 crore profit from the Telugu market alone \u2014 even before the film’s release.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, NTR enjoys a strong market in the USA. If he can contribute an additional Rs 10 crore (or\u00a0 $2 million gross) to the overall overseas collections of War 2, it would translate into a neat Rs 30 crore profit for YRF.<\/p>\n

Had YRF opted to cast another Bollywood actor instead of NTR, they likely wouldn\u2019t have been able to tap into the lucrative Telugu market at this scale.<\/p>\n

The decision to bring NTR onboard has clearly proven to be a profitable one on both sides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Yash Raj Films (YRF) announced the casting of NTR alongside Hrithik Roshan in \u201cWar 2,\u201d the decision…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32019,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75,24631,24632,4058],"class_list":["post-32018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ntr","tag-war-2","tag-yash-raj-films"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
