Chennai, March 8: On the occasion of International Women’s Day, actor and politician Kamal Haasan has urged the Centre to implement women’s reservation without linking it to the delimitation exercise.

Taking to his X timeline to pen his thoughts, Kamal wrote, “On this International Women’s Day, we must reaffirm that true nation-building cannot happen without empowering women.”

Stressing on the fact that the contribution of women to the nation’s growth and development was integral, he wrote, “Their leadership, strength, and vision are integral to progress. We must unlock the potential of half our population, ensuring their equitable role in governance.”

The star also went on to add, “In the spirit of this day and on behalf of the daughters of India, I once again urge the government to implement women’s reservation without linking it to the delimitation exercise — an action that risks undermining our federal unity and calls for a longer national conversation.”

He concluded his post saying, “As I have since its introduction, I continue to urge the Union Government to amend the Constitution (One Hundred and Sixth Amendment) Act. Empower women, empower the nation.”

On the work front, actor Kamal Haasan has just tasted phenomenal success as a producer, with the Sivakarthikeyan-starrer ‘Amaran’ setting the cash registers to ring. As an actor, he will next be seen in director Mani Ratnam’s eagerly awaited action extravaganza ‘Thug Life’. The film, which features a host of stars such as Simbu, Trisha, Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Joju George, Mahesh Manjrekar, Bhagavathi Perumal and Nasser, among others, is scheduled to hit screens on June 5 this year.

Music for the film is by A R Rahman and cinematography is by Ravi K Chandran. Editing for the film is by director Mani Ratnam’s favourite editor Sreekar Prasad. The film is being jointly produced by Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam, R Mahendran, Siva Ananth and Udhayanidhi Stalin.

Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani starrer War 2 was released on Thursday. The film took an opening of Rs. 52 crore (all languages), and on its day 2, it showed a jump and minted Rs. 57.35 crore (all languages). In two days, the movie has collected Rs. 109.35 crore (all languages). Hrithik and Jr NTR on Saturday took to X to thank their fans for all the love they have given to the movie.

Hrithik tweeted, “In Kabir’s world, battles may be won.. but the war goes on. A character that came to life in 2019, has only fueled my fire as an Actor & Entertainer. Witnessing all your cheers & celebrations in cinema halls, only makes Kabir taller and my heart fuller. Kabir was and always will be one of my most cherished on-screen characters. Thank you for all your love & well-wishes for #War2 and Kabir (sic).”

Jr NTR posted on X, “I am seeing your love for #War2 and I love you back for it… Incredible to see the public support for our film which we made with a lot of passion. Let’s goooo!”

Kiara Advani also shared on Instagram, “Your love speaks the loudest… seeing your smiles, your cheers, your excitement fills our hearts with joy.. #War2 in cinemas (sic).”

War vs War 2 Box Office Collection

Well, overall, if we look at the numbers, they are good. But, if we compare War and War 2, the first instalment in Hindi itself had collected Rs. 51.60 crore, and the sequel on the first day collected Rs. 29 crore in Hindi. So, there’s a huge gap in the numbers.

With Jr NTR playing the parallel lead, War 2 is getting a good response in Telugu, and that’s why the overall numbers are good. But, if we only compare the Hindi box office numbers of War and War 2, then the latter’s collection is below par.

War 2 Review

War 2 has received mixed reviews from the critics. “and those invested in the YRF Spy Universe, this is a decent but not standout chapter. For others, it’s an overstuffed action entertainer that shines in moments but ultimately misses the knockout punch.”
