Industry insiders suggest that while the actor’s recovery may temporarily delay the shooting schedule, the release date is unlikely to be impacted at this time. Given NTR’s impressive track record and Prashanth Neel’s storytelling expertise, ‘Dragon’ is set to be a remarkable experience for audiences across various languages. For now, fans can be reassured that their favorite star is on the mend, and the team will resume filming once he is fully recovered.
