As per latest reports, more starpower is added to Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel’s upcoming action drama, NTRNeel which is reportedly titled Dragon. After it was recently confirmed that Rukmini Vasanth is going to play the female lead, now new reports have emerged that Rishab Shetty is set to do a cameo in the film.

Although it’s said to be currently in discussion phase but the buzz has set off newer expectations for fans of both Telugu and Kannada cinema. Rishab and Jr NTR are known to be friend as both the stars travelled to holy sites in Karnataka last year. Official confirmation is still awaited about the news. Earlier there were also reports that Anil Kapoor is a part of the film.

NTRNeel has been a talking point ever since the film was launched, largely thanks to the star-power combination of Jr NTR and KGF director Prashanth Neel. The action drama is being mounted on a massive canvas by Mythri Movie Makers in association with NTR Arts. 

The producer line-up includes Kalyan Ram Nandamuri, Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Shankar Yalamanchili, and Hari Krishna Kosaraju. The technical crew incliudes Neel’s frequent collaborators, Ravi Basrur on music, Bhuvan Gowda handling cinematography, and Chalapathi in charge of production design.

The makers announced that NTRNeel will hit cinemas worldwide on June 25, 2026, releasing across multiple languages including Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam.

Meanwhile, Rishab Shetty's highly awaited Kantara: Chapter 1 is hitting screens pan-India wide on October 1.
