Amidst growing buzz around Prashanth Neel and Jr NTR's upcoming collaboration, recent reports suggested that the film has been temporarily stalled to perfect the superstar's multiple looks in the high-octane entertainer. However, the makers have now stepped in to clarify that there is no truth to these rumors, confirming that the project is very much on track.
Mythri Movie Makers took to X (formerly Twitter) to set the record straight, stating that there is no truth to the buzz about the look or the shoot schedule being axed. The production house said the film is progressing as planned, with only a routine preparation gap.
After delivering back-to-back pan-India hits with KGF: Chapter 2 and Salaar: Part 1, filmmaker Prashanth Neel is now gearing up for what is being touted as his most ambitious project yet. The yet-untitled film with Jr NTR in the lead is already creating buzz, with fans popularly referring to it as 'NTR Neel'. Some reports are calling the film Dragon.
The film went on floors on August 9 last year with a pooja ceremony in Hyderabad. The makers even announced last year that it would be released in June 2026, but since then, there has been no update on the film.
