Actor Jr NTR has undergone shoulder surgery, prompting a reshuffle of the upcoming 'Dragon' shoot and allowing the production of 'Salaar 2' to proceed.
Jr NTR, the popular Telugu actor, recently underwent shoulder surgery at a hospital in Hyderabad. The procedure was performed to address a long‑standing injury that had been affecting his mobility during filming.
The surgery has led to a reshuffling of the shooting schedule for the upcoming film 'Dragon'. Production teams have postponed several key scenes and are working on a revised timeline to accommodate the actor’s recovery.
While 'Dragon' faces delays, the team behind 'Salaar 2' has taken the opportunity to accelerate its pre‑production work. The makers are moving ahead with location scouting and casting to ensure the sequel stays on track.
Industry insiders say that the decision to postpone 'Dragon' was made to avoid compromising the quality of the film, while the swift progress on 'Salaar 2' reflects the production house’s confidence in Jr NTR’s return to the set once he has fully recovered.
