Social media users praised the glimpse for its gritty visuals, large-scale action blocks, powerful background score, and the intense presentation of Jr. NTR in a never-before-seen avatar. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The glimpse introduces audiences to a dark and violent world centred around the character named Luger, played by Jr. NTR.

Prashanth Neel Provides Details of Jr. NTR's Character In Dragon; Calls It One Of The Most Patriotic Films Ever

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Hyderabad, May 20 - It has already been some years since director Prashanth Neel announced his maiden film with superstar Jr. NTR. The film has been in the making since last year and is easily one of the most anticipated Indian films at the moment. The recently released teaser of the film has taken the buzz to another level while leaving fans wanting more. While the film still has over a year for its release, the maverick director has made some explosive revelations about Jr. NTR's character in the film and the movie's unexpected genre direction. Ever since the title glimpse was unveiled, many assumed Dragon would be a high-scale period action drama in the style of Neel's previous mass entertainers. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, the director has now clarified that the teaser only represents the "setting" of the film and not its actual thematic core. Speaking about Jr. NTR's role, Prashanth Neel made a shocking statement. "It's a dark character, and the darkest character I have ever written". "It took me three years to write this. I have taken it very seriously. We have cast the most expensive villain in the history of Indian cinema (referring to Luger aka Dragon aka Jr. NTR). That's how we're looking at it. He (NTR) knows the character he is playing, and we did not want to hide the fact", he said. The statement has immediately sparked massive online chatter, especially because Jr. NTR is reportedly not playing a conventional heroic role. Neel's films always have an anti-hero at their core, but Jr. NTR seems to be playing a pure villain role, a completely new territory for the RRR star. Enter INSIDE THE WORLD OF #Dragon as #PrashanthNeel takes you through the madness behind it.▶️ https://t.co/elqqIM9hyU Don’t miss the conversation!Man of Masses @tarak9999 @AnilKapoor @rukminitweets #BijuMenon @ravibasrur @bhuvangowda84 #Venkatachalapathi @peterheinoffl… pic.twitter.com/N78m1BMAfK— Mythri Movie Makers (@MythriOfficial) May 20, 2026 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, the biggest surprise came when Prashanth Neel addressed the film's genre and emotional foundation. While audiences expected a brutal period action spectacle, the director hinted at something entirely different. "The Teaser is just a setting... We probably will end up making one of the most patriotic movies ever seen!" Produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with NTR Arts and T-Series, Dragon is being made on a massive scale with intense world-building. The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Biju Menon, Rukmini Vasanth, Khushbu Sundar, Ashutosh Rana, and Sidhant Gupta in key roles alongside Guru Somasundaram, Rajeev Kanakala, Anshuman Pushkar, Prabhas Srinu, Shatru, Shiva, Bhimal Jeet Oberoi, Ntuthuzelo Prince Grootboom, Aleksandr Mizev, and Benedict Paul Garrett. It is scheduled to release on June 11, 2027.

Prashanth Neel Seemingly Confirms KGF: Chapter 3 and Salaar 2 Are No Longer In The Making

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Hyderabad, May 20 - Director Prashanth Neel has sparked fresh speculation around the future of the blockbuster KGF and Salaar franchise after his latest comments during promotions for his next period action drama Dragon starring superstar Jr. NTR. In a recent interview with Baradwaj Rangan, Prashanth Neel stated that Dragon would be his final film in the hyper-stylised post-apocalyptic noir mass space - a genre template that heavily defines both the KGF films and Salaar. The statement has now led many fans to believe that Yash-fronted K.G.F: Chapter 3, as well as Prabhas' Salaar 2, may no longer be part of the filmmaker's plans. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The development comes as a major surprise, considering Neel and Yash had previously teased the continuation of the KGF universe multiple times after the historic success of K.G.F: Chapter 2. Earlier reports had even suggested that Chapter 3 would begin production after both Neel and Yash completed their existing commitments. Neel is currently occupied with Dragon, which has consumed a lot of his time, while Yash is focused on Toxic and Ramayana. With both the actor and director committed to multiple large-scale projects for the next few years, the possibility of KGF Chapter 3 happening anytime was already looking unlikely, and now, after Neel's comments, both the films have seemingly been scrapped.

RAPO23: Is Srinidhi Shetty Joining Ram Pothineni's Directorial Debut?

BY CHRISTA LINCY

Ram Pothineni is set to embark on the most ambitious phase of his career with his upcoming project, tentatively titled #RAPO23. In a significant move that has caught the industry's attention, the actor is taking full creative control by serving as both the writer and director for the first time. This transition places him in an elite category of Tollywood stars like Sr NTR, Krishna, and Pawan Kalyan, who have successfully balanced acting and directing their own visions. On the casting front, the project has reached a major milestone with Srinidhi Shetty being finalized as the female lead. The actress, who gained massive popularity through the KGF franchise, will be making her first collaboration with Ram in this psychological action thriller. While the female lead is locked, the hunt for a powerful antagonist is currently the subject of much discussion within trade circles. Reports indicate that the team is currently in talks with SJ Suryah to play the antagonist. Interestingly, the role was initially offered to Fahadh Faasil, but discussions did not move forward due to remuneration-related issues. If the deal with SJ Suryah is finalized, the film will feature a high-intensity face-off between him and Ram, adding significant weight to the film's Lone Wolf narrative. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film, titled Veera, is being described as a stylish psychological action thriller, a genre that remains relatively rare in mainstream Telugu cinema. The first-look poster has already hinted at a dark and gritty aesthetic, featuring Ram in a leather jacket with a distinct V-shaped haircut. The Lone Wolf tag suggests a character-driven story with intense psychological depth, moving away from standard commercial tropes. Production for Veera is being handled by Ram's brother, Krishna Pothineni, under the newly launched Rapo Cinematics banner. This homegrown production approach ensures that the project remains a close-knit family venture as Ram steps into his new role behind the camera. The team is currently busy with pre-production work and finalizing the rest of the supporting cast and technical crew. As per the current schedule, regular shooting for #RAPO23 is set to begin in June 2026. The makers are aiming for a swift production cycle to ensure the film is ready for a theatrical release in December 2026. Given the unique genre and Rams directorial debut, the film is expected to be one of the most anticipated releases in the second half of the year.

Dacoit Box Office: A Career Best and A Hat-Trick of Double-Digit Openings For Adivi Sesh

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Hyderabad, April 11 - Dacoit: A Love Story has opened on a strong note at the box office, delivering a career-best opening for actor Adivi Sesh and further cementing his position as one of the most reliable mid-budget stars in Telugu cinema today. Career-Best Opening for Adivi Sesh The romantic action drama has clocked an impressive 13.60 crore worldwide on its opening day, surpassing Sesh's previous best and setting a new benchmark in his career. Previously, the actor's biographical action drama, Major, raked in 13.15 crores gross on its first day at the worldwide box office. While the margin over Major is not big, the significance lies in the consistency Sesh has displayed at the box office. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A Rare Hat-Trick of Strong Openings What makes this achievement even more notable is that Dacoit marks a hat-trick of double-digit openings worldwide for Adivi Sesh. In an era where only top-tier stars consistently deliver big openings, Sesh's films have quietly built a reputation for strong initial pull backed by content-driven appeal. The actor's last movie, HIT: The Second Case, opened to 11.50 crores worldwide. From Major to HIT 2 and now Dacoit, the actor has shown a steady upward trajectory, with each film opening to solid numbers despite varying genres. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Mixed Domestic Trends, Strong Overseas Push While the global opening numbers are encouraging, the film's domestic performance has shown mixed trends, especially in non-Telugu markets. The Hindi version, in particular, has opened on a relatively slower note. However, Dacoit has found strong support in overseas territories, which has significantly boosted its worldwide total. This indicates that Adivi Sesh’s appeal is steadily expanding beyond regional boundaries. What Lies Ahead? (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The strong opening has given Dacoit a solid platform, but its long-term success will now depend on word-of-mouth and weekend growth. With competition and mixed initial reactions in certain circuits, sustaining momentum will be crucial. If the film manages to hold well over the weekend, it could very well turn this strong start into yet another success story in Adivi Sesh’s filmography.

Dacoit Worldwide Pre-Release Theatrical Business: Adivi Sesh Starrer Needs 60 Crore To Break-Even

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Hyderabad, April 9 - Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur's romantic action drama Dacoit is steadily building momentum ahead of its theatrical release, with the film locking a solid pre-release business across key territories. The movie, which blends action with an emotional love story, is scheduled to release on April 10 in multiple languages. As per Telugu trade reports, Dacoit has secured a worldwide theatrical business of around 30 crore. The majority of this comes from the Telugu states, where the film enjoys a strong base thanks to Adivi Sesh's consistent track record. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions contribute the largest share, accounting for around 20 crore, while North India and overseas markets have added decent value, indicating growing interest beyond the core Telugu audience. The makers have ensured a balanced distribution strategy, avoiding overpricing in any territory. With the theatrical rights valued at approximately 30 crore, the film is expected to target over 60 crore gross worldwide to achieve break-even status and emerge as a clean success. This puts Dacoit in the mid-range category, where performance heavily depends on word-of-mouth and audience reception rather than just star power or massive openings. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Dacoit will probably need to become Adivi Sesh's highest-grossing film to emerge as a box office hit. The actor's 2022 biographical action drama film, Major, is currently the biggest grosser with around 61 crores worldwide. The good thing is that Sesh has consistently delivered successes, and the same is expected from Dacoit.

Jr. NTR-Prashanth Neel's Dragon Shoot Paused Again, This Time For NTR's Look

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Hyderabad, April 7 - Days after Tovino Thomas confirmed that he is no longer a part of Jr. NTR-fronted Dragon due to continued delay in production, the shoot of the period action drama has been paused again for another reason. The movie has been in production since 2024. Pause driven by dissatisfaction with look According to the latest report by Gulte, Jr. NTR was not fully convinced with his appearance and certain portions already shot, prompting the team to halt production temporarily. The makers are now reworking the look to better match the character's intensity and overall vision of the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) This isn't just a minor tweak, it's part of a larger effort to ensure the film delivers a strong visual impact, especially given the expectations from a Prashanth Neel directorial. The movie was to be shot on a major schedule this month, but the schedule is now pushed. Multiple delays continue to affect the film Earlier, the shoot schedules of Dragon were disrupted due to health issues and physical strain on Jr. NTR during intense shoots. Apart from this, there were also reportedly script changes and reshoots, with the team refining the narrative and action blocks. Some already-shot portions were also reportedly scrapped, further pushing timelines. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The multiple delays have also impacted the film's casting. Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas, who was on board to play a key role, apparently exited the film, citing that the shooting of the film was taking longer than he had thought. While it was indeed a big project for Tovino, the actor said that he had multiple other commitments to complete, and hence, he left the film. Perfection over pace While such pauses could impact timelines, they also signal a strong creative control and dedication behind the scenes. The makers are leaving no stone unturned to achieve perfection as much as possible and are not willing to rush without achieving it. If executed well, these decisions could ultimately enhance the film's overall impact.

BY SUNIT JANGIR

Los Angeles, April 7 - The decision to postpone the release of Dacoit to avoid a clash with Dhurandhar 2 is proving to be a wise move as Adivi Sesh's starrer has taken the North American box office by storm. The film is showing solid response in advance sales, hinting at a big start in the region. The romantic action thriller was originally scheduled for a March 19 release, but the makers postponed it to April 10.
