Hrithik Roshan recently made fun of the poor performance of his last film, the spy universe sequel ‘War 2’. While introducing himself as a “superstar” at an event, the actor appreciated the affection shown by the audience while jokingly mentioning that his film “failed at the box office”.
Actor Hrithik Roshan, who was last seen in Ayan Mukerji’s ‘War 2’, recently poked fun at the film’s poor performance at the box office. When he was introduced as a “superstar” by the host on the program, the actor mentioned that his film “failed at the box office.”
In the viral video, the host was seen saying: “Here’s a round of applause for the superstar.” Hrithik in his response said, “This is very kind of you. My film just failed at the box office. So it feels great to get so much love, thank you!”

‘War 2′, the sixth installment of Yash Raj Films’ ambitious spy universe, is the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War. Directed by Ayan Mukherjee and backed by Aditya Chopra’s YRF, the film was scheduled to release in theaters on August 14, 2025, after ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ (2012), ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ (2017), ‘War’ (2019), ‘Pathan’ (2023), and ‘Tiger 3’ (2023).
While Hrithik returned as Major Kabir Dhaliwal, the film marked the debut of Jr. NTR in Hindi cinema, portraying the lethal, lethal Agent Vikram. The cast also included Kiara Advani, Ashutosh Rana, Anil Kapoor and Varun Badola. Although ‘War 2’ was expected to be a huge success at the box office, it had a good start but failed to maintain its momentum.
India Today, in its review of the film, wrote, “An ineffective BGM (especially the lion’s roar for NTR), and misplaced songs do not satisfy your excitement of seeing a larger-than-life spy drama on the big screen. When the credits roll, you are left with the faint rumble of jet engines (running on a racetrack), and the feeling that the only real battle here is between logic and budget. And the budget wins.”
Hrithik will next be seen in his directorial debut ‘Krrish 4’. The announcement was made by his filmmaker father Rakesh Roshan, who will be co-producing the film with Aditya Chopra.
The actor will also be seen in the next project of Hombale Films, who is known for backing films like ‘Salaar’ (2023) and ‘Mahavatar Narasimha’ (2025).
