Jr NTR-Prashanth Neel's 'Dragon' delayed further; new release window locked
The wait for Dragon just got longer. The Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel film, originally aiming for a Sankranthi 2026 release, has hit delays—mainly because of extended production breaks.
With NTR currently away for his brother-in-law Narne Nithiin's wedding, filming will only pick up again at the end of October.
The team plans to work straight through next summer to catch up, but this means the movie won't be ready as soon as fans hoped.
'Dragon' will now likely hit screens in late 2026
Even after filming wraps, Dragon faces a tough post-production phase thanks to its heavy visual effects and big action scenes.
Director Neel is known for his perfectionist touch, so the release could slip further—possibly into late 2026 or even early 2027.
The final date will be set by Mythri Movie Makers once they see how things progress next year.
