Jr NTR and Neel Aim for Perfection with 'Dragon'

Consequently, the actor is pushing for every scene to feel powerful and impactful. There is serious talk within the team about reshooting certain portions to strengthen the film's overall quality. The goal is to make 'Dragon' better than its current version.
International Shoot Planned in Africa
The film's production will have an international flavor. Director Prashanth Neel recently completed a location recce in Africa. He has reportedly selected key locations there for filming major action sequences.
The entire team is expected to stay in Africa for approximately three weeks or more. This international shoot aims to add a grand scale to the film's visuals and action set pieces.
Strong Cast Assembled for the Action Thriller
The film features a formidable cast. 'Kantara: Chapter 1' star Rukmini Vasanth plays the female lead, which is described as a crucial role. With Jr NTR, Anil Kapoor, and Rukmini Vasanth leading the project, the cast promises strong performances.
'Dragon' is expected to be high on action, emotion, and drama, blending these elements seamlessly. The makers initially planned a Sankranthi release but later shifted the date.
Official Release Date Locked
The production team has officially locked the release date for 'Dragon'. Audiences can mark their calendars for June 25, 2026. This gives the team ample time to perfect the film as per their ambitious vision.
The collaboration between Bollywood and Tollywood stars, combined with Prashanth Neel's directorial prowess, makes 'Dragon' a project to watch closely in the coming years.
