While the situation was alarming, NTR has safely returned, bringing immense relief to fans. Let’s delve into the full details! The escalating war clouds in West Asia sent shivers down Tollywood’s spine. As global concern mounted over the fierce conflict between Iran and Israel, the unit of ‘Dragon,’ starring the Man of Masses NTR, narrowly escaped a major disaster. For the past few days, retaliatory attacks between Iran and Israel had escalated the situation towards war. With Iran attacking US base camps, countries like Jordan, Iraq, and UAE closed their airspace due to security reasons. The Indian Embassy in Jordan also issued urgent warnings for Indians to move to safe areas. It was precisely at this time that NTR and Prashanth Neel’s team were shooting in Jordan, causing immense anxiety among fans.
This schedule was originally planned to continue until the first week of March. However, Director Prashanth Neel reportedly became vigilant after anticipating the changing political developments and war-like atmosphere. Thanks to his foresight, he expedited the work ahead of schedule, wrapping up the shooting on February 22nd, and returned to India with the film unit. Tollywood circles are abuzz with the discussion that had they delayed by just four more days, flight operations would have ceased, potentially leaving hundreds of crew members, including NTR, stranded there.
