Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel are cooking up one of the most anticipated biggies, which was initially slated for June 25, 2026. However, the ground reality is that a major portion of the shoot is still pending, making the planned release practically impossible.
Putting an end to the speculation, Jr NTR officially announced the postponement on his social media handles. The film has now been pushed by nearly a year and is locked for release on June 11, 2027. This means the project will take close to four years from its announcement to hit the big screens.
While the delay has left fans disappointed, the makers are clearly prioritizing quality over speed. In a much-needed relief, Jr NTR also confirmed that the film’s first glimpse will be unveiled on May 20, 2026, coinciding with his birthday.
The announcement poster instantly grabs attention, presenting Jr NTR in a rugged, warrior-like avatar with a muscular build, thick beard, and intense expression, hinting at a powerful action spectacle.
Backed by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, the film stars Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead, with music composed by Ravi Basrur. The project is currently being referred to as Dragon.
