NTR fans were left terribly heartbroken by the disastrous box office performance of his recent film War 2. Many had hoped the movie would mark a smashing entry for him in Bollywood, but it turned out to be a nightmare for all concerned. As a result, attention has now shifted to NTR’s upcoming project Dragon, directed by Prashanth Neel.
The film was initially announced for a Sankranti 2026 release. However, the release has been delayed. The team later indicated that the movie would likely come out in the summer instead. This delay, coupled with rumors of disagreements between NTR and the director over the script, has raised doubts among fans about when the film will actually hit theaters.
Reports suggest that NTR has requested changes to the script. Prashanth Neel is reportedly making the adjustments. The shooting of Dragon has been on hold for some time, and there is no official update from the makers regarding when production will resume. Fans have been actively tagging the team on social media, seeking answers, but have largely received no response. Amid this uncertainty, Prashanth Neel’s wife, Likitha Reddy, stepped in with a post offering reassurance to fans. She confirmed that the NTR-Neel movie will be released at the right time, which is expected to be by next summer.
It appeared that her post was also aimed at brushing off fans who were persistently asking for updates on Dragon. Even she might not know the exact timelines for the shooting schedule or when it might resume.
Currently, there is no clarity on the shooting schedule. Reports indicate that Prashanth Neel is reworking the script for the second half of the film and plans to restart shooting by the end of this year. After KGF and Salaar, Prashanth Neel surprised fans by announcing his next project with NTR. Fans expect that after Dragon, he will move on to Salaar 2, which is also highly anticipated across India.
The combination of NTR’s stardom and Prashanth Neel’s direction makes Dragon one of the most awaited films. Fans are closely watching for any official news regarding its shooting and release schedule.
