Dragon marks the first collaboration between NTR and Prashanth Neel. It is a full-blown action entertainer that will hit the big screens in June 2027. In a recent interview, action director Chethan D’Souza made an interesting revelation.

“NTR’s physicality is different; he has toned down his physique and is playing an assassin, so the action must feel believable and relatable. We have redefined the action language to make it more convincing. The fights are realistic and suited to his character and physique, while still delivering crowd-pleasing impact,” said Chethan.

According to him, mass action doesn’t necessarily mean people flying through the air, slow-motion walks or jumps. He feels that it comes from a powerful moment created through storytelling. Dragon stars Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead.

Suriya and Jithu Madhavan’s crime-comedy thriller Scene is set to arrive in cinemas on November 6. It stars Naslen as the antagonist. The film will have a simultaneous release in Tamil and Telugu.

Trade reports suggest that Scene will have a limited release in Telugu states compared to Suriya’s previous films. Ramayana will have the biggest release in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, as the distributor has spent big bucks on the theatrical rights. On the other hand, Aadarsha Kutumbam will reportedly retain a significant number of screens during the festival season, leaving fewer theatres for the Suriya starrer.

Scene has been sold for Rs. 15 crores in Telugu states, and it should collect somewhere around Rs. 30 crores gross to be in the safe zone. Let’s see how things go. Nazriya plays the female lead.
