Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel’s Dragon: Makers Quash Schedule Rumours

Jr NTR and 'Dragon' Team Respond to Production Rumours

Jr NTR’s much-anticipated film with director Prashanth Neel, tentatively titled 'Dragon', has once again landed in the spotlight—this time due to swirling rumours about production hurdles. The project, which already commands massive attention thanks to Neel’s blockbuster track record and NTR’s recent transformative performances, found itself the target of online speculation claiming the shoot had been derailed by dissatisfaction over the star's look.

The production houses Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts swiftly addressed the situation, labelling the current filming pause as a routine preparation gap. They emphasized that the shoot remains on schedule and categorically denied any schedule cancellations or creative disputes. In an official statement, the producers said, “There is absolutely no truth to the rumours circulating about the look or any schedule cancellation. The film is progressing as planned, with only a routine preparation gap. We request everyone not to believe or spread unverified information.”

Despite the firm response, the online chatter briefly unsettled fans, especially with the original June 25 release date now in doubt. With significant portions yet to be filmed and no promotional material out, a delay seems likely. The film boasts an ensemble including Rukmini Vasanth, Anil Kapoor, and Bimal Oberoi, with music by Ravi Basrur, heightening expectations.

As the makers urge patience and caution against fake updates, all eyes now turn to the official announcement of a new release date once filming concludes. Fans and industry watchers alike await the next move from this high-voltage action drama.
