Dragon will also feature Rukmini Vasanth and Tovino Thomas in pivotal roles. The film is being produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts. The shooting began earlier this year with high expectations, but the production has been slow.

There are speculations about further delays, but no new date beyond June 2026 has been confirmed.
Actor's role
NTR's involvement in 'Dragon' production process
In October, reports emerged that NTR had halted the shoot of Dragon as he was "not fully happy" with what had been shot so far. A source told Bollywood Hungama, "NTR wants Dragon to succeed at any cost. He is willing to go that extra mile to ensure it turns out just right." The film requires extensive visual effects, complex action sequences, and a large-scale production setup.
