NTR Jr is gearing up for a brutal December at Ramoji Film City, where he will shoot some of the riskiest action sequences of his career. The actor will reportedly perform the stunts himself, with no body double, for director Prashanth Neel’s much-anticipated project — rumoured to be titled Dragon.
All-night action at Ramoji Film City
The plan is to lock in extensive night schedules for about three weeks in December, with a possible extension of another week depending on how the shoot progresses. Sources say the sequences are more dangerous and pulse-pounding than anything NTR Jr has attempted before, and the team is taking maximum safety precautions while keeping the intensity high.
No body double — NTR’s new approach
A source close to the shoot revealed, “Tarak is very clear that the days of body doubles are over.” The insider compared the trend to other superstars doing their own stunts, adding, “Every superstar is Tom Cruising now—and so is NTR.”
What this means for Prashanth Neel’s film
- Director: Prashanth Neel is known for high-octane action; this film is expected to raise the bar further.
- Title: The project is rumoured to be called Dragon, though official confirmation is pending.
- Shoot strategy: Night schedules at Ramoji Film City will focus on stunt blocks that require meticulous coordination and real-time commitment from the star.
Keeping it close to the chest
Interestingly, NTR Jr has not informed his wife and children about the hazardous stunt work scheduled next month. The decision appears aimed at avoiding worry and maintaining focus on the shoot.
Fans can expect intense sequences and big reveals as the team moves into this critical phase. With NTR Jr doing his own stunts and Neel at the helm, the film’s action quotient is already a hot topic across Bollywood and Tollywood circles.
