The highly anticipated film Dragon, starring Jr. Ntr and directed by Prashanth Neel, has sealed its OTT deal with Netflix for a whopping amount. The film will be available on the streaming platform eight weeks after its theatrical release, which is scheduled for June 25, 2026.
The decision to have an 8-week OTT release window is reportedly to ensure the film's successful run in theaters, particularly in the North belt. This move is expected to help the film reach a wider audience in multiplexes. Notably, Ntr's previous film War 2 also followed a similar release pattern, hitting Netflix 8 weeks after its theatrical debut.
Netflix's Winning Streak with Ntr's Films
This deal marks another feather in Netflix's cap, following the success of Ntr's previous films like RRR and Devara. The streaming giant seems to be on a roll with Ntr's movies, acquiring rights for a substantial amount. With Dragon's OTT release eagerly awaited, fans are wondering if the film will replicate the success of Ntr's previous projects on the platform.
Dragon is an action film starring Jr. Ntr and Rukmini Vasanth, produced by Mythri Movie Makers. The movie is currently in production and promises to deliver high octane action sequences. With its engaging storyline and talented cast, Dragon is expected to be one of the biggest releases of 2026.
