Dragon Glimpse Introduces NTR As Luger
On the occasion of NTR’s birthday, the makers of the highly anticipated NTR-Neel project released a special glimpse and officially announced the film’s title as Dragon. The teaser introduces Jr NTR as Luger, the Assassin-In-Chief of the Afghan Trading Company, instantly creating massive excitement among fans. Directed by Prashanth Neel, the film appears to be a large-scale action drama set in a dark world connected to the opium trade and the criminal empire that emerged in India after British rule. The glimpse presents NTR in a lean, intense and powerful avatar, with strong dialogues and a commanding screen presence. Reports also confirm that the film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on June 11, 2027.
Prashanth Neel Builds Another Violent Action World
