This year is shaping up to be special for Jr NTR fans as the actor’s much-anticipated film with Prashanth Neel, tentatively titled Dragon, is gearing up for a grand theatrical release. The film is already on floors and has been generating strong buzz.
The latest confirmed update is that Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor has come on board in a crucial role. There had been speculation earlier, and Anil Kapoor himself confirmed his involvement through an Instagram Story recently.
This marks his second time sharing screen space with Jr NTR after War 2. It is also his second project with a South Indian director following Sandeep Reddy Vanga (Animal). However, there is still no clarity on the role he will be seen in.
Apart from this, Anil Kapoor also made it clear that he and Jr NTR will be working together on another project, which would mark their third collaboration. Industry speculation suggests that this could be a standalone film featuring the Tollywood star in the YRF Spy Universe. However, it is too early to confirm any details, and clarity is expected only after an official announcement regarding the project.
Rukmini Vasanth is playing the female lead. Several noted actors are also part of this multilingual pan-Indian project. The film is being produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, with Ravi Basrur handling the music. The release date has been locked in for June 25, 2026.
