Dragon: Jr NTR's House Set Built For Whopping Rs 15 Crore? Here's What We Know
Last Updated: Jr NTR's Dragon is set to feature a lavish Rs 15 crore house set at Ramoji Film City. Directed by Prashanth Neel, the film begins its next action-packed schedule in September. Jr NTR briefly shot for Dragon last month before stepping away to promote War 2, where he shared screen space with Hrithik Roshan. With promotions now complete, the actor is set to dedicate his full attention to the Prashanth Neel directorial. The film's first schedule was shot in the coastal town of Kumta, Uttara Kannada, offering a scenic backdrop along the Konkan coast. Expansive factory sets were created for the ten-day schedule. However, unpredictable weather forced the production to move away from outdoor shoots in the region. Rs 15 Crore Spent On Jr NTR's House Set To ensure seamless progress, the team shifted to Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, where multiple elaborate sets are being built. Among them, the most striking is Jr NTR's on-screen residence. According to a report in Filmfare, the house set alone is valued at a staggering Rs 15 crore. Designed with precision, it will feature curated artefacts, custom wall hangings, and detailed colour schemes, making it a key visual element of the narrative. This extravagant investment reflects the film's larger-than-life approach and Neel's commitment to world-building. Next Major Schedule Begins September Currently on a short festive break, Jr NTR will rejoin the sets after Vinayaka Chaturthi. The next schedule, starting in early September, will run for a month in Hyderabad and will largely revolve around high-octane action sequences. With Prashanth Neel at the helm and Jr NTR's star power, Dragon is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious films in recent times.

Hrithik Roshan on dancing with Jr NTR in Janaab-e-Aali In the BTS video, Hrithik expressed his admiration for Jr. NTR and revealed how he felt validated working alongside him. He said, 'I always thought that I was being looked at as the guy who had too many tantrums about the flooring, about the shoes, and about how sticky the floor should be. And for the first time I had another performer in front of me (Jr. NTR), who was asking about the same things and checking the same things. He was checking the floor, the shoes, and putting gum on the shoe. It validated my 25 years of throwing that tantrum.' Hrithik is also seen approaching Jr. NTR in the video, jokingly telling him, 'Ek banda to mila mujhe jo sochta hai the same way. Nobody else! (Finally, I found one person who thinks the same way as me. Nobody else does!)'

Big banner films still fail to deliver bang for the buck
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The disappointing performance of big-budget and multilingual films War 2 and Coolie on their opening weekend, especially after the unexpected and extraordinary success of the low-budget Saiyaara, has reignited concerns about the box office revival, said producers, exhibitors and 2, the sixth offering of the Yash Raj Spy Universe , released across more than half of India's total screens (including IMAX), recorded the lowest opening of ₹29 crore for the Hindi version in the Spy Universe, according to data from Sacnilk. Similarly, Coolie recorded a 45.8% drop in its collection across languages on Monday, compared to that on Sunday, the data in the first four days, War 2 and Coolie collected ₹165 crore and ₹195 crore respectively in India. Both films were made with a budget of ₹350-450 crore each."The disappointing performance of War 2 and Coolie is a reminder that hype and stars cannot guarantee longevity to films," said Suniel Wadhwa, co-founder and director, Karmic Films. "This tendency to create pan-India offerings through stars merely provides a high opening day collection. But sustained success is dictated only by content."Industry executives said one of the factors responsible for the progressive decline in collection on the opening weekend was the lack of freshness and entertaining elements in the scripts of both films."I cannot differentiate one film from the other in the six films of the Yash Raj Spy Universe. It is the same story which is repeated with different stars. Dialogues are dull. There is no thrill or engaging quality to the confrontation between the two central characters in War 2," said Ameya Naik, founder, Fantasy Films, an event management company. "Coolie has benefited considerably from Rajnikanth's stardom. Though Coolie may be better than War 2, its screenplay falters and it does not entertain you."Audiences and distributors also mentioned the glaring lack of visual richness, especially in War 2, as another disappointing factor."A large portion of War 2's budget is invested in actors' fees. The film's visual effects do not justify its budget at all. This makes the viewing experience even more dull as the story lacks freshness and conviction. The film has benefited more from the holiday period," said Shaaminder Malik, a film distributor and trade on the other hand, said they were concerned about the increasing tendency among producers to treat films as "projects"."These films would recover investments. In recent years, things have become so formulaic. Makers are making 'projects'. "We have lost our model of success. Today, big producers with large distribution networks are interested in recovering money through sale of rights and other assets," said Yusuf Shaikh, CEO and founder, Janta Cinema, an exhibitor which showcases films at affordable prices."Producers will recover their money as the formula is working. But the audience is disappointed."
