Jr NTR, Prashant Neel’s Film Shoot Halted - Deets Inside
Apparently, Jr NTR is down with a cold and fever, hence the shooting in Hyderabad got halted.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 21 Jan 2026 1:04 PM ISTOne of the most prestigious films, being made with a hefty budget, is none other than Superstar Jr NTR’s next movie, which is being directed by KGF and Salaar fame pan-India director Prashanth Neel. Tentatively titled Dragon, the film’s shoot was happening in Hyderabad until yesterday, when it was halted.
Apparently, Jr NTR is down with a cold and fever, hence the shooting in Hyderabad got halted. They are shooting for action sequences continuously at a specially erected set in Ramoji Film City. After working for nearly 20 days continuously on the film, with only 3 days of Sankranthi break, even Jr NTR got tired big time, they say.
Going by the efforts the actor is putting into the action sequences of the movie, many are wondering how powerful his role is going to be in the Dragon movie. Earlier, it has come out that the actor will be seen in three different avatars in this gangster drama that’s centred around drug lords and the drug politics of Eastern India.
If all goes well, the film is most likely to release this year itself, while the shooting got delayed earlier as well when Jr NTR hurt his leg in a minor accident during the movie’s shoot.
