Jr NTR-Prashanth Neel's Dragon Confirmed for June 11, 2027 Release
The film Dragon, directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Jr NTR, is confirmed to release on June 11, 2027, despite recent speculation of delays following Jr NTR's hand injury and surgery. Producer Ravi Shankar Yellamanchili affirmed the release date at a pre-release event, dismissing delay rumors. While Jr NTR recovers, the team is filming scenes not involving him, aiming to complete shooting by year-end to allow time for post-production. The film also features Rukmini Vasanth in her Telugu debut and actors Anil Kapoor and Biju Menon.
