The effect on its number is particularly observed in the Telugu states. Now, in an effort to mitigate the losses, reports claim that Yash Raj Films has stepped in with a compensation package for Telugu producer Naga Vamsi and his partners after the film tanked. 

YRF to compensate Naga Vamsi

According to a report from Great Andhra, the Telugu version of War 2 was acquired by Naga Vamsi and his partners for a staggering Rs 80 crore. However, after its release, it film producers have incurred heavy losses. Thus, Yash Raj Films is said to be returning Rs 22 crore through structured settlements across key regions, including Rs 10 crore for Nizam, Rs 7 crore for Andhra, and Rs 5 crore for Ceded.

Reports also suggest that Naga Vamsi was initially confident that the film would collect Rs 100 crore from the Telugu states alone. However, the negative reviews and online trolling affected the film’s potential from day one. Additionally, the film clashed with Rajinikanth’s Coolie, which emerged as a major audience favourite, negatively impacting War 2's collections.
