Jr NTR is back in action mode as his highly anticipated collaboration with director Prashanth Neel, tentatively titled Dragon, prepares to roll. The film is gearing up to be an ambitious action saga. It is entering its next phase with a long and power-packed shooting schedule. Interestingly, the director is said to have meticulously planned a marathon shoot that will span several months. It will establish the film’s massive action sequences and larger-than-life scale.
To make matters even more interesting, Prashanth Neel is looking at restyling Jr NTR’s character. He recently tested a brand-new look for the actor and the results have left everyone on the team stunned. A source close to the development said, “The transformation stunned all of us. Once the new look was tested on NTR, the whole unit was shocked at how perfectly it fit the character and the film’s tone. That’s why Prashanth Neel has designed a marathon shooting schedule. The upcoming stretch is massive, extremely demanding and will run for several months. He wants to capture every ounce of NTR’s energy and physicality on screen.” The makers had released a photo as Neel and NTR discussed his look, though his face wasn’t revealed. The caption had hinted that the actor had taken his physical prep to a whole new level.
Coming to his physical transformation, Jr NTR is currently maintaining a leaner and sharper physique for the role. He was also spotted looking visibly fitter. A few months ago, a viral gym video of NTR doing intense workout had fans hyped about his upcoming transformation. Sources reveal that the actor’s intense training and diet were aimed at achieving an agile and athletic look for the film’s action choreography.
