NTR's Dragon Postponement Rumours Dismissed?
Although NTR has been advised to take six weeks of rest after suffering an injury on the film's sets, there has been no change in the release plan of Dragon.
Speculation over Jr NTR's Dragon being postponed following the actor's recent injury has turned out to be unfounded. Although NTR has been advised to take six weeks of rest after suffering an injury on the film's sets, the production schedule remains firmly on track.
Rumours had suggested that the Prashanth Neel directorial would miss its planned June 2027 release. However, sources close to the production clarify that there has been no change in the release plan.
With NTR recuperating, director Prashanth Neel has been shooting portions that do not require the actor. These sequences were already part of the production schedule and are expected to be completed before NTR rejoins the team.
Once the star returns, the makers will resume filming his portions, with the entire shoot expected to wrap up before the end of the year. The timeline also gives Prashanth Neel sufficient time to complete the extensive post-production work required for the high-octane action entertainer ahead of its June 2027 release.
For now, NTR is focused on his recovery, while the production continues without disruption.
The film also marks the Telugu debut of Rukmini Vasanth, who plays the female lead opposite NTR. After winning praise for her performances in Kannada cinema and creating buzz with Kantara Chapter 1, Dragon is expected to be a crucial film in shaping her career in Tollywood.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with NTR Arts, Dragon is one of the most anticipated pan-Indian action films currently in production.
