Ayan Mukerji on making War 2 with Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR: ‘Huge responsibility to take forward a loved franchise'
War 2, with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, is one of the most awaited films of the year. The teaser of the film was released last month and already picked up a storm on social media. Now director Ayan Mukerji has shared his journey on making the film, making sure that he is able to deliver a jaw-dropping, adrenaline-pumping theatrical experience like no other. (Also read: 'Fire vs thunder': Internet cannot decide who stole the show in Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's clash in War 2 teaser) In a press statement, Ayan says, 'It is a huge responsibility to take forward a hugely loved franchise like War and leave your own mark on it. I saw directing War 2 as a relishing opportunity to give a hat-tip to the first film. You can't have fun otherwise while coming on board such a huge blockbuster franchise. One has to take what has been set and then make the fans of the film and the fans of these gigantic superstars of our country go on a journey that is new, that hopefully leaves them hungry for more. As a director, I have to be honest, I immersed myself into delivering this feeling.' He adds, 'Everything about War 2 has been crafted with a lot of planning to elevate the theatrical experience of the audience. The maximum time spent was on the action set pieces and crafting the storyline and the conflict which was needed to mount the face off between Hrithik Roshan and NTR.' The director says, 'War 2 is truly the coming together of Indian cinema with these two huge actors joining forces. We were aware of the expectations this pairing would set in the minds of their fans and the audience and every second was spent thinking of how to give them an experience of a lifetime when they sit in the theatres.' War 2, which also stars Kiara Advani, is set to release in theaters on August 14.

Men block plane aisle with shawls to play cards mid-flight, viral video triggers backlash over air travel etiquette
A viral video showing a group of men playing cards mid-flight has sparked outrage online, with many criticising the passengers for blocking the aisle and ignoring basic in-flight etiquette and safety norms. In the video, the men are seen tying a shawl between four seats to create a makeshift surface. The setup, which turned part of the cabin into an impromptu card table, not only obstructed movement but also raised safety concerns among viewers online. Many questioned how such behaviour was allowed to continue during a commercial flight. The clip was originally posted by entrepreneur Mahaveer Jain on his Instagram handle @mahaveergandhi, with the caption: 'Gambling is not about how well you play the games; it's really about how well you handle your money.' Since being uploaded, the reel has racked up over 7.1 million views and more than 156,000 likes, alongside a flurry of critical comments. A post shared by Mahaveer Jain (@mahaveergandhi) Another user questioned the silence of both crew and fellow passengers: 'The biggest question is, was there nobody on the plane to shame these guys and make them stop? The crew are too polite but what about the other passengers?' A third viewer said, 'Yaar stop this nonsense. Watch movie or go to sleep. And let others sleep.' However, not everyone saw a problem with the airborne card game. One user came to the group's defense and wrote: 'I am not sure why it's shameful behaviour? No one is being hurt or no inconvenience is being created? If you feel uncomfortable in social situations so that you hide your presence by making least movements and getting mix by everyone, people not doing that doesn't make their behaviour shameful and whatever people are telling!! Chillx guys, they are not hurting or disturbing anyone.'
