Reports about a look test and his possible role have circulated, but there has been no official confirmation from the makers that he is part of the cast. Directed by Prashanth Neel, Dragon stars Jr NTR in the lead role. The film’s first glimpse, released in May, introduced him as Luger, the Assassin-in-Chief of the Afghan Trading Company. The story is set in 1967 against the backdrop of the Golden Triangle and the international opium trade. Jr NTR plays Luger in 1967-set action drama Anil Kapoor plays Raghuveer Rathod, the chief of India’s Narcotics Bureau. The film also features Rukmini Vasanth, Biju Menon, Khushbu Sundar and Guru Somasundaram in key roles. The film’s narrative centres on the conflict between powerful groups operating against the backdrop of the international opium trade. The first glimpse showed Luger at the centre of this conflict, with Kapoor’s Raghuveer Rathod positioned against him. Meanwhile, Jr NTR is recovering from shoulder surgery after suffering an injury during the production of Dragon. The shooting schedule has been reorganised, with the team continuing portions that do not require the actor. Filmfare reported that NTR could return to the sets in October after completing his rehabilitation. ]]>
