Jr NTR’s highly anticipated collaboration with director Prashanth Neel, Dragon, continues to progress despite a temporary change in the shooting schedule. The actor recently returned home after undergoing surgery, raising concerns among fans about whether his absence would affect the film’s production.
However, the latest update suggests that the makers have managed to keep the project moving forward without major disruption.
Prashanth Neel Makes Use of Jr NTR’s Absence
While Jr NTR was away recovering, Prashanth Neel reportedly focused on filming portions that did not require the actor. According to sources, the team shot important childhood episodes related to Jr NTR’s character during this period.
The decision allowed the director to make productive use of the available time and maintain the shooting schedule. Rather than putting the entire production on hold, the team reportedly rearranged the schedule based on the scenes that could be filmed in Jr NTR’s absence.
Shooting to Resume With Jr NTR
With Jr NTR now back home and recovering, he is expected to return to the sets once he is ready. The team can then proceed with the portions involving the star.
The makers are reportedly determined to stay on schedule, and the latest developments indicate that Dragon remains on track despite the temporary setback. Fans are now eagerly waiting for Jr NTR to rejoin the shoot and for more updates on Prashanth Neel’s much-awaited action spectacle.
