Dragon shoot continues despite Jr NTR’s absence

Recent rumours surrounding Jr NTR’s Dragon suggested that the film’s shoot had come to a halt after the actor was reportedly advised six weeks of rest due to a shoulder injury. Speculation also hinted at a possible delay in the film’s release schedule.

However, industry sources say those reports are inaccurate. The production is continuing as planned, with the team currently filming portions that do not require Jr NTR’s presence. Combination scenes featuring other actors and independent sequences are being completed under a redesigned shooting schedule.

Sources also indicate that Jr NTR is responding well to treatment and recovering as expected. He is likely to rejoin the shoot once doctors give him the go-ahead. As of now, the makers do not expect any major disruption to the overall production schedule, with Dragon progressing according to plan.
