Jr NTR is indeed preparing for the second schedule of his highly anticipated film with director Prashanth Neel. The project, which is currently in production, has been generating immense excitement among fans, particularly after the success of both Jr NTR’s recent films and Prashanth Neel’s KGF and Salaar.
Here’s what is known about the film and its production:
Tentative Title: The film’s working title is NTRNeel but it’s also been widely rumored to be titled Dragon. However, due to the existence of a 2025 Tamil film with the same name, the makers are reportedly looking for a new official title to avoid confusion and legal issues.
Genre and Scale: The film is described as a high-octane action-epic. Prashanth Neel has stated that it is a period drama set around the 1950s, but not a mythological one. It is expected to be mounted on a grand scale, with reports suggesting it will be the most expensive film in Jr NTR’s career.
Second Schedule Details: According to recent reports, the second schedule of filming is planned for a month-long period. The team is aiming to shoot a major action sequence and other key scenes to catch up on the schedule, as a recent film industry strike had caused a halt in production.
Casting: While the full cast has not been officially announced, it is speculated that actress Rukmini Vasanth may play the female lead. The film is also rumored to feature notable actors like Tovino Thomas and Biju Menon.
Production and Release: The film is being produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts. The first schedule began earlier this year at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, and Jr NTR joined the team for the first major schedule in Karnataka. The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on June 25, 2026.
