One year after cameras rolled for NTR’s highly anticipated ‘Dragon’, directed by Prashanth Neel, reports reveal only 40% of the film is shot. This glacial pace for the Tollywood superstar’s comeback after ‘RRR’s global triumph has sparked significant fan concern and questions regarding the production’s substantial delays.
Dragon’s Slow Burn: One Year, 40% Shot
A year has passed since the shooting began for ‘Dragon’, the highly anticipated movie starring Tollywood star NTR and directed by Prashanth Neel. Despite this significant duration, reports indicate that only approximately 40% of the film’s shooting has been completed, a revelation that has surprised many and raised questions about the reasons for the delay. This project, marking NTR’s return to Telugu cinema after the global success of ‘RRR’, commenced its regular shooting last April. Now, a full year later, fans are eagerly awaiting its release and progress updates.
The slow pace has sparked considerable discussion, particularly given director Prashanth Neel’s reputation for grand sets, extensive manpower, and high technical standards. While the film unit initially aimed for a release in the first half of 2026, the current rate of production suggests a potential push to 2027. According to information circulating on social media, one significant reason for the delay was a minor dispute that occurred between the director and the hero sometime ago, leading to a brief hiatus in filming. Although shooting has gradually resumed, it is understood that 60% of the film remains to be shot, including several crucial schedules.
Behind the Delays: Fans Await Answers
Everyone assumes that the film’s shooting is nearing its conclusion, but fans are now wondering when the remaining part will be completed and are eagerly awaiting an official announcement from the film unit. The prolonged production timeline has also raised concerns about NTR’s other commitments. He needs to complete ‘Dragon’ before fully participating in the shooting of ‘Devara 2’. The uncertainty surrounding ‘Dragon’s completion and subsequent release has become a major topic of discussion among his fans, who, while understanding the pursuit of quality, comment that at this pace, another year might pass before the film is ready.
Overall, NTR fans are immensely invested in this film and are eagerly anticipating its release. Hopes are high that the film unit will complete the remaining shooting soon, announce the official release date, and ultimately deliver a hugely successful film.
Looking Ahead
NTR fans’ patience is wearing thin, yet their devotion to “Dragon” remains unwavering. The onus is now squarely on the makers to expedite production, meet these high expectations, and deliver a cinematic spectacle worthy of the Young Tiger’s stature and his ardent followers. The wait must ultimately be worth it.
