Prashanth Neel's directorial venture, 'Dragon', starring Jr NTR, is generating significant buzz. The director recently shared that the lead role is unlike anything the actor has previously undertaken, describing it as the darkest character he has written.
Neel narrated the film's concept to Jr NTR approximately five years ago.

It took the writing team three years to fully develop the reasoning behind the protagonist's actions, ensuring a strong emotional foundation.
The film, previously known as NTRNeel, was officially titled 'Dragon' with a teaser release. The story is set in 1967 and draws inspiration from the Golden Triangle region and the global opium trade, adding an intriguing historical layer to the narrative.
