The wait for one of the most anticipated collaborations in Indian cinema is nearly over. As fans gear up for superstar Jr NTR’s 43rd birthday on May 20, the team behind his upcoming project with filmmaker Prashanth Neel has confirmed a major update. The massive action entertainer, long referred to as #NTRNeel or NTR31, is set to unveil its official title and first glimpse to the world.
A Midnight Treat for Fans
In what has become a tradition for major star-studded projects, the makers are planning a midnight rollout. Industry reports indicate that the first glimpse of the film will be released at midnight on May 19, serving as an early birthday gift for fans as they head into May 20. The content is expected to launch simultaneously in five languages—Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam—underscoring the film’s pan-India scale.
Is ‘Dragon’ the Official Title?
For months, the project has been widely discussed under the tentative tags of #NTRNeel and NTR31. However, recent developments have provided a significant clue regarding the official title. Documentation from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) recently surfaced, referencing the teaser as “Glimpse of Dragon.” This has led to widespread speculation that the film will be officially titled Dragon.
The censor details also suggest the teaser will be a substantial 4 minutes and 35 seconds long, offering a deep look into the visual style and gritty universe Prashanth Neel is known for creating.
High Expectations
This marks the first time the RRR star is teaming up with the director behind the KGF franchise and Salaar. With the film already scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on June 11, 2027, the stakes could not be higher. Alongside Jr NTR, the cast is reported to include Rukmini Vasanth in the female lead role and veteran actor Anil Kapoor in a pivotal character.
As the countdown begins, all eyes are on the midnight drop, which promises to set the tone for what is shaping up to be one of the most significant cinematic events in the coming years.
