As per a report by Pinkvilla, the hospital has released an official bulletin regarding the actor's health, and have advised him to take 2-3 months to completely recover.
NTR, who has been shooting for Prashanth Neel's magnum opus Dragon, was advised six weeks of rest when he initially sustained the injury. Following this, he underwent surgery and has now been advised to take time to recover fully.
Set in 1967, Dragon explores the opium wars that are fought between two regions and trading companies where the plant is cultivated the most: Afghanistan and the Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia. "In 1947, when the British left India, they also left behind the most profitable business in the world," a voiceover in the film's teaser tells us, going into the history of heroin production and its ramifications in the world of Dragon.
The film, written and directed by Prashanth Neel, will be released on June 11, 2027. Starring NTR, Anil Kapoor, Biju Menon, Rukmini Vasanth, Khushbu Sundar, Guru Somasundaram, Rajeev Kanakala, and Ashutosh Rana, among others, the film is produced jointly by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts.
NTR will also be seen in Trivikram Srinivas's epic about Lord Muruga. The film will have music by Anirudh Ravichander and will be produced by Haarika & Hassine Creations and Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao Arts.
