NTR is now busy participating in the Devara Japan promotions. He will soon resume working on Neel’s film, which is being made on a mammoth budget. Tentatively titled Dragon, the biggie is being bankrolled jointly under the Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts banners. The makers announced January 9, 2026, as the release date.
Yesterday, the makers of Vijay’s Jaya Nayagan revealed that the actor’s last film would arrive on January 9, 2026. Discussions sparked online about the probable clash between Thalapathy and Young Tiger. However, the latest buzz in Kollywood circles suggests that NTR-Neel’s film might not hit the screens as per the initial plan.
It is said that the biggie has moved to Summer 2026, but an official confirmation is yet to be made. A few opine that Sankranthi isn’t the ideal time for a PAN-Indian film since the competition will be huge during this festive period. Kannada actress Rukmini Vasanth is rumored to be playing the female lead in Dragon. KGF and Salaar fame Ravi Basrur will compose the music.
