NTRNeel, reportedly titled Dragon, is touted to be a large-scale action spectacle, with Rukmini Vasanth expected to play the co-lead and Anil Kapoor in a key role. Initially, there were reports that Tovino Thomas might be part of the project, with indications that he would play the main antagonist.
However, in a recent media interaction, the Minnal Murali actor confirmed that he had to step away from the project due to his commitments in Malayalam cinema. Reportedly, the makers are now in talks with Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor for the role, although no official confirmation has been made.
Earlier, NTRNeel was announced to release on June 25, 2026, but it has now been postponed to 2027.
