Production houses Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts have issued a firm statement dispelling rampant online speculation about the progress of their high‑profile collaboration with Jr NTR and director Prashanth Neel. Recent rumours suggested that the team had scrapped an entire filming schedule, allegedly due to dissatisfaction with the lead actor’s appearance. Industry insiders and fans were briefly unsettled by the claims circulating on social media. In a clear and concise response, the film’s official spokesperson described the reports as unfounded, emphasizing that the project remains firmly on schedule. The statement clarified that the current lull in production activity is a standard preparation interval rather than a disruption caused by creative differences or logistical setbacks. “The shoot is progressing as planned,” the statement read, reaffirming the team’s commitment to a smooth production process. Despite the reassurance, questions linger about the viability of the June 25 release date, which the makers had previously indicated as the target. With significant portions of principal photography yet to be completed and no promotional material released to date, industry analysts suggest that a postponement is increasingly likely. Tentatively titled Dragon, the much‑anticipated film boasts a formidable cast including Rukmini Vasanth, Anil Kapoor, and Bimal Oberoi, with acclaimed composer Ravi Basrur attached to the musical score. As fans await further updates, the production duo has urged audiences to rely only on official communications for accurate information.
