Prashanth Neel Steps Out of His Comfort Zone for Jr NTR

It looks like director Prasanth Neel is going to change his trend with Dragon. The movie stars Jr NTR in the lead role and is directed by Prashanth Neel. From the time the project was announced, expectations have been very high. The main reason is the fresh approach the director is trying with this film.

Prashanth Neel is widely known for his dark and intense visual style. His earlier films like KGF, KGF Chapter 2 and Salaar were filled with shadows, rough textures and powerful action. Those films created a strong impact with their gritty tone. However, with Dragon, the director is stepping out of that familiar zone. He is aiming for brighter visuals and a wider cinematic scale. The idea is to make a film that family audiences can also enjoy, while still keeping the strong mass elements alive.

Recently, Jr NTR travelled to Jordan for an important shooting schedule. Pictures and videos from this location quickly went viral. His rugged look, with a thick beard and intense body language, grabbed massive attention on social media. Fans praised his screen presence and called the look powerful. Many believe this appearance will be one of the biggest highlights of the film. The Jordan schedule is said to include major action scenes that play a key role in the story.

There are strong reports that these sequences will raise the overall scale of Dragon. At the same time, there is a lot of buzz about a possible face-off between Jr NTR and Tovino Thomas. Though the makers have not confirmed it officially, fans are already excited about the possibility. Anil Kapoor is also part of the cast, adding more strength and star value to the project.

The journey of Dragon has not been smooth behind the scenes. The film faced delays due to an injury and several changes in the script. Jr NTR reportedly wanted the story to be sharper and more impactful. The team took extra time to improve the screenplay and visuals. This careful effort has only increased expectations. Finally Dragon is scheduled to release on June 25, 2026.
