The Hindi version of War 2 will be released at normal prices, but the Telugu dubbed version will have increased ticket rates, upsetting fans. Netizens are angry over the trend of charging more for Telugu versions of star films, even when the content is the same.

They question why Telugu audiences are being targeted and warn that rising costs may drive viewers toward OTT platforms, hurting the industry. Previously, tickets cost ₹150–₹200, but now prices range from ₹300–₹500, making family outings unaffordable.
