As per the recent buzz, Ayan is offered a whopping Rs 30 crore as fees to direct the War sequel.

Such buzz left everyone stunned. However, the truth seems to be something else. The latest development has quashed the rumors involving Ayan.

Box Office World quoted a close source to the production house (YRF) as saying, “YRF doesn’t believe in burdening the project with astronomical cost form beginning rather everyone becomes stakeholder and shares the profits. Ayan will be paid handsomely but Rs 32 crores fixed fee is untrue” 

Furthermore, the source was quoted as saying, ““The minute Aditya Chopra saw Brahmastra, he knew that Ayan had the potential to direct a stylish action film. He made an offer to Ayan and the director was more than happy to enter the YRF Spy Universe.”

If reports are anything to go by, War 2 will go on floors by November 2023 and will be completed in a year, if everything falls into place at the right time.
