Dragon On Hold: NTR Prioritizes War 2

NTR has temporarily paused the shoot of his upcoming action film with director Prashanth Neel tentatively titled Dragon to focus entirely on the promotions of War 2.

As the film gears up for a grand release on August 14th, NTR’s presence in the promotional campaign is considered crucial especially to attract North Indian audiences as this marks his Hindi film debut.

Promotions are expected to kick off in Mumbai from August 2nd.

The recently released trailer has already created a buzz, setting the stage for a strong nationwide campaign, and the song, Aavan Jaavan, which released today attracted many.

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth’s Coolie is also targeting the same release window, setting up a major box office clash. In Telugu states, Naga Vamsi has acquired distribution rights for War 2 and assured fans that regional promotions will start soon.

Feel the love, feel the music…
