Jr NTR busy shooting for Dragon

Jr NTR has been busy shooting for his next movie Dragon, helmed by Prashanth Neel. Set in the 1960s, an epic action saga chronicles global opium cartel wars. In a leaner frame, Jr NTR, as Luger, plays an assassin in Dragon.   About Jr NTR's transformation for the role, Neel said, "I just told NTR to become a little thinner, but later he became unstoppable. He lost about 15 kilos at one point in time. His wife, mother, friends, and my team were completely upset with me. I asked him to stop many times because he started looking paler and frail. But he never stopped. He said he wanted to achieve something for the story I am writing and what I envisioned.”

The movie is slated to release on June 11, 2027.
