Putting an end to the long wait for updates, the team behind the upcoming film directed by Prashanth Neel, the maker of films like KGF and Salaar, ans starring Jr NTR, officially announced that the film’s first glimpse will be unveiled late on Tuesday night. While the film’s title is widely being speculated as Dragon, the makers have not made any official announcement yet and continue to refer to it as NTRNeel.
In a statement, the makers said, “The time is locked for the Destructive Force to conquer all. NTRNeel first glimpse begins the celebrations in selected theatres and digitally at 11:52 pm IST on May 19. Stay tuned for more details.”
The timing of the reveal holds special significance, as it coincides with Jr NTR’s birthday on May 20. So far, the team has maintained tight secrecy, with no visuals or major details released.
Fans are particularly excited to see how Prashanth Neel presents Jr NTR on screen, given the director’s distinct style of showcasing powerful, larger-than-life characters. With no prior glimpse or teaser released, expectations are high about the tone, scale, and characterisation in this film.
There is also growing curiosity around the film’s title. Though Dragon has been doing the rounds as a tentative name, the makers have neither confirmed nor denied it. Many expect that the title could be officially revealed along with the glimpse, but there has been no clarity from the team so far.
The project is being produced by Mythri Movie Makers. Actress Rukmini Vasanth plays the female lead, while music is composed by Ravi Basrur, who has previously collaborated with Prashanth Neel.
The makers recently shared a picture featuring Prashanth Neel and Ravi Basrur working together on the film’s background score.
Jr NTR was last seen in the Hindi film War alongside Hrithik Roshan. His previous Telugu outing, Devara (2024), turned out to be a success.
