Telugu superstar Jr NTR was discharged from KIMS Hospitals in Secunderabad on Thursday, a day after undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The hospital said he is doing well and will follow a structured rehabilitation programme. Doctors expect full recovery in 2-3 months. The actor injured his shoulder in late July while filming an action sequence for Prashanth Neel's 'Dragon'. Sources told India Today that Neel has started pre-production on Prabhas' 'Salaar 2' during the break. 'Dragon', Jr NTR's Kannada debut, is slated for release in June 2027.
