Jr NTR is not taking any risks with his upcoming film. After the poor performance of War 2 at the box office, the superstar has decided to put the brakes on his current project Dragon. Sources close to the actor say he has asked director Prashanth Neel to rework the script before they continue shooting.
The decision comes after Jr NTR reviewed the footage that has been shot so far. While he doesn’t dislike what has been filmed, he feels the content can be much better. The actor wants Dragon to be a massive success and is willing to wait longer to make sure everything is perfect.
Why Jr NTR Wants Script Changes
A source close to the production revealed that Jr NTR is being very particular about the quality of Dragon. “NTR wants Dragon to succeed at any cost. He is willing to go that extra mile to ensure it turns out just right,” the source said.
The actor is not entirely unhappy with what Prashanth Neel has shot. However, he believes the film can reach another level if they work on the script again. There is even talk of reshooting some portions that have already been filmed.
What This Means For Dragon
With this decision, Dragon will now take much longer to complete than originally planned. The film was already one of the most awaited projects because it brings together Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel, the director behind the blockbuster KGF franchise and Salaar.
Whether Prashanth Neel will agree to make all the changes Jr NTR wants is still unclear. But one thing is certain, the actor is not in any hurry. He wants to make sure Dragon is the best film it can possibly be.
This is a smart move by Jr NTR. After War 2 failed to meet expectations despite having a massive budget and huge star power, he clearly understands that content is king. Taking extra time to polish the script shows his commitment to delivering quality cinema to his fans.
