War 2's major updates are out, and they involve Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR's dance face-off, and another use of AI after Raanjhanaa. While we recently learned that Hrithik vs Jr. NTR dance face-off could be a theatrical exclusive, there is now another AI scare. This time, it is with regards to War 2's Telugu version. Here's everything we know...
War 2 Hrithik Roshan vs Jr. NTR dance face-off theatrical exclusive?
A new report on Pinkvilla suggests that War 2's dance face-off between Jr. NTR and Hrithik Roshan will be theatrical exclusive. The makers are likely to share a glimpse, but would release the song only in theatres, a source informs the portal. "Everyone’s eyes are on Hrithik and NTR’s dance number, and Aditya Chopra is well aware of this. He wants to keep building the hype and hunger for this song till the release, and not give the full song to people to watch it for free," the little birdie shares.
Times Aditya Chopra hid the best song of his movies for theatrical release
Remember Dhoom: 3 and Bunty Aur Babli's most iconic songs Kamli and Kajra Re? Yes, YRF head honcho Aditya Chopra had kept those tracks as theatrical exclusive releases, and it worked! So, it looks like he's trying the same strategy for the War 2 dance face-off song. Whether that works out post-COVID, though, is a question.
AI touch in War 2 after Raanjhanaa?
The buzz in media is also that Hrithik Roshan has not dubbed for the Telugu version of War 2. Since Jr. NTR enjoys a fan following in the language, he has dubbed in Telugu, but that is reportedly not the case with Hrithik. Reports suggest that Hrithik's voice in Telugu is dubbed using AI. This is the second time that a Hindi film would use AI after Raanjhanaa's AI-altered ending for Dhanush's character Kundan and all involved in the scene.
