The man who gave us intense, brooding worlds in KGF and Salaar just broke the internet, not with a teaser, but with a dance. Known for his quiet, serious presence, director Prashanth Neel let loose like never before as Royal Challengers Bangalore lifted their first-ever IPL trophy.
A video of Neel celebrating RCB’s historic 2025 win over Punjab Kings is now going viral. Shot on the sets of his upcoming film Dragon, the clip shows him dancing with pure joy, surrounded by cast and crew. His wife, Likitha Reddy Neel, shared it on Instagram, calling RCB’s win the “perfect birthday gift to the craziest cricket fan I know.” It turns out, behind all that intensity is a hardcore cricket buff.
Fans were surprised to see this fun side of Neel, who’s mostly known for keeping a low profile. This outburst of emotion has given social media a rare glimpse into the director’s off-screen personality, and it’s being lapped up by fans just as much as his movies.
Meanwhile, Dragon continues to be in the news not just for its scale, but also for its title dilemma. With the name already taken by filmmaker Pradeep Ranganathan, Neel’s team is reportedly hunting for a new title. But for now, all eyes are on the viral celebration clip—because even directors deserve their big match moment.
