With the likes of Nandamuri Balakrishna, Rashmika, Vijay D and other stars injured, their respective movies are getting delayed as the shoot is happening. Recently, it has come out that even the Superstar Jr NTR sustained a shoulder injury, though there is no clarity whether that happened on the sets or in the gym, but he’s going to take 2-3 months’ rest. So what happens to “Dragon” now?

Already, the “Dragon” release got delayed by a year, though the makers of the film, including director Prashanth Neel and Mythri Movie Makers, are confident that it will release in 2027 without any delay. Now that Jr NTR is hurt, what’s going on with the movie naturally happens to be the concern of the fans. Internal reports, however, are coming up that Jr NTR is currently resting, but the rest of the crew isn’t.

They say that director Prashanth Neel is shooting those scenes that don’t require Jr NTR at the moment. And some scenes that could be managed with a body double are being shot currently just for the back-side shots of the actor. For the next two months, the shooting of Dragon will go on as planned.

With a huge star cast like Anil Kapoor, Rukmini Vasanth and others, the makers have many alternative plans until NTR recovers, so that time will not be wasted. So that Dragon is on schedule at theatres!
