"2019 has been a fantastic year for #Bollywood and the super success of #War reiterates the fact that *well made* biggies - targeted at PAN India audience - will always be embraced warmly by the paying public... Expecting #YRF to green light #War2 soon," he said, in another tweet.

Explaining the economics of the film, Adarsh tweeted that both Tiger Shroff and Hrithik Roshan were signed two years at then prevalent rates. This had taken the cost of production to Rs 150 crore including all fees and remuneration. Going bu this, the makers have made more than Rs 150 crore just from ticket sales. If you will add television and streaming rights to this along with other sources of revenue, we are looking a whopping figure.

Interestingly, Hrithik Roshan had also signed a backend deal for War which made him a partner in profits. Adarsh expects War to be a franchise like Mission Impossible series, with Hrithik staying constant.
