Speculation continues to surround “Dragon,” the upcoming film starring NTR and directed by Prashanth Neel, with fresh casting rumors grabbing attention.
After recent chatter about schedule disruptions, the team quickly clarified that the shoot was only paused temporarily for planning the next phase. Now, a new rumor has taken over social media.
According to reports from Bollywood circles, Shahid Kapoor is being considered for the antagonist’s role in the film.
Initially, Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas was in talks for the negative role. However, he reportedly stepped away due to the extensive dates required, which could have impacted his commitments in Malayalam cinema.
With Shahid Kapoor’s name now doing the rounds, the buzz has intensified. If he comes on board, it could significantly boost the film’s pan-India appeal.
That said, there is still skepticism around this development. Given Shahid Kapoor’s star status in Bollywood, it remains uncertain whether he would take up a full-fledged antagonist role in a big-budget Telugu film.
As of now, there is no official confirmation, and fans are waiting to see if this casting rumor turns into reality.
