Jr.
ntr is slated to work with filmmaker
prashanth neel on an upcoming
movie, Dragon, after Devara and
war 2. It is planned for the regular shoot to start in
january 2025. Many think that this
movie has the potential to be Jr. NTR's largest pan-India smash, even bigger than Prashanth Neel's previous film Salaar, which took in ₹600 crores at the
box office globally.
With a huge budget of between ₹350 and ₹400 crores, the bar is quite high. Dragon was once rumored to be a two-part
movie, however it appears
prashanth neel just intends to release the first portion. It is said that the
director is demanding a high fee for the undertaking. Neel has also requested that
ntr bulk up for the part, thus
ntr will shortly begin rigorous training to put on weight and muscle.
While opinions on Prashanth Neel's writing for Salaar were divided, appreciation was given to his directing, especially for the way he choreographed Prabhas' battle scenes. Given that the filmmaker has publicly declared his affection for Jr.
ntr, fans are hoping that Neel would showcase the actor in a much more impressive manner. Dragon is scheduled to premiere on
january 9, 2026. According to speculations, it will center on the drug mafia in Bangladesh.
