After the shocking failure of his debut in Bollywood War 2. Now, the Young Tiger has returned to the fray with a vengeance, taking on one of the most ambitious films of his career — Dragon, which is to be directed by Prashanth Neel.
The shooting of Dragon has resumed in Hyderabad quietly, with the producers going out of their way not to make any major announcements. Fans, according to industry sources, have to wait until January 2026 for updates, since the team wishes to create suspense for the project.
NTR is said to be closely involved in every detail, ensuring Dragon lives up to its massive expectations. With Prashanth Neel at the helm, the film is being designed as a high-octane action entertainer with global appeal.
The excitement grows further with buzz in the industry indicating a special cameo appearance by Kantara star Rishabh Shetty. Although not officially announced, sources attribute it to his friendship with NTR as the reason for him accepting the role. Rukmini Vasanth plays the female lead in the movie, with music by Ravi Basrur. Financing this massive production is Mythri Movie Makers, who are famous for their big-budget productions.
With its star power, nerve-racking action view, and Neel’s narrative experience, Dragon is already considered one of the hottest films in NTR’s career. Expectations are high.
