NTR and Prashanth Neel Film Update: Shoot Datails Revealed!

The wait for Jr. NTR fans has finally come to an end as the path is now clear for his collaboration with director Prashanth Neel. Like the calm before the storm, fans have been eagerly anticipating news of the movie’s shoot, and the latest update reveals the lion-hearted actor’s schedule for the near future. Currently immersed in the high-octane world of *War 2* alongside Hrithik Roshan, NTR is set to finish his portion of the shoot by January’s end, leaving no room for distractions. The precision with which his schedule is unfolding speaks volumes about his commitment to both his ongoing project and the future venture with Prashanth Neel.

Behind the scenes, the groundwork for this highly anticipated action thriller is moving at a rapid pace. With the pre-production work in full swing, everything is falling into place for NTR’s grand entry into the film’s sets. Fans can expect the first shot of the film to be fired in Hyderabad in early February, where NTR will join the team for the much-awaited action-packed journey. While parts of the shoot will proceed without him through December and January, it’s clear that all eyes will be on his commanding presence once filming officially begins.

The film, speculatively titled *Dragon*, will transport audiences to the rugged landscapes of Bangladesh, adding an intriguing layer to the narrative. In a fitting homage to the world that made *KGF* a cult phenomenon, the same stellar technical team that brought that franchise to life will be at the helm. With Prashanth Neel orchestrating this high-voltage actioner, fans can brace themselves for a cinematic spectacle filled with electrifying action sequences and powerful storytelling. Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts will jointly produce this venture, which is primed for a massive release in January 2026.

As the countdown begins, NTR fans can rest assured that the journey from the silver screen to *Dragon* will be worth every second. But until then, let’s just hope his training for the role doesn’t involve too much lifting-after all, there’s only so much “dragon power” one man can handle!

Why Manchu Lakshmi Doesn’t Like Him?

Manchu Lakshmi is one of the few vocally active actors in Tollywood and she doesn’t mince words when it comes to expressing her opinion fearlessly. She has done the same to a great extent now as she has announced that she isn’t in approval of the Allu Arjun characterization in Pushpa. This has now become a topic of discussion in itself.

In a latest interview, Manchu Lakshmi gets asked to pick between Prabhas’s Baahubali or Allu Arjun’s Pushpa and she has a bold statement to make here. She immediately picked Baahubali and went on to explain her choice.

Manchu Lakshmi stated that she doesn’t quite like the way the Pushpa character behaves in the film as it objectifies women and demeans them. She opined that the character is regressive towards women and that isn’t to be accepted in this modern era where women are striving and progressing along.

“I like Allu Arjun very much and I enjoyed watching Pushpa as a film but I didn’t like the way the Pushpa character objectified women and spoke it about them. This isn’t something that I usually associate a superstar with. This doesn’t set the right example for the rural population who watch this film. But again this is my personal opinion and it has nothing to do with the creative choices of the makers of the film.

They have full freedom to pick what they want.” Lakshmi commented on this matter. Lakshmi who is usually very vocal about her choice of words on certain topics is back at it again now. She has even explained the reasoning behind her big call.
