Mumbai: Action spectacle "War 2", featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, has emerged as a box-office juggernaut, racing beyond the Rs 200 crore milestone in the Indian market within a span of merely eight days.
Helmed by visionary filmmaker Ayan Mukherji and produced by Aditya Chopra, the film unfurled in theatres on August 14, under the banner of Yash Raj Films (YRF).
