Young Tiger NTR's highly anticipated project with KGF and Salaar director Prashanth Neel, rumored to be titled Dragon, is back on track. The film's next schedule is set to begin in December at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, with massive sets built for uninterrupted shooting until Christmas. Following the Christmas break, the Dragon team will resume filming on January 5, with plans to head to Africa for international action sequences.
Prashanth Neel has reportedly scouted locations in Africa, selecting key spots for shooting international action sequences. The crew is expected to spend three weeks or more on the continent, covering most of the movie's remaining scenes. With the film's release planned for June 25, 2026, the team is working tirelessly to meet the deadline, although it may be pushed to late 2026 or early 2027, depending on production and post-production needs.
The film stars NTR and Kantara: Chapter 1 actor Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead. NTR was last seen in War 2, which failed to live up to expectations despite the hype surrounding his Bollywood debut. With Dragon, fans are eagerly awaiting the combination of NTR and Prashanth Neel, known for his work on KGF and Salaar.
The Dragon team is moving full steam ahead, with the Africa schedule being a crucial part of the film. The film's success is anticipated to be a major boost for NTR's career, and fans are eagerly awaiting the release of this highly anticipated project.
