NTR’s Decision Backfires: Faces Big Setback

NTR's Dragon, directed by Prashanth Neel, is the first film to be announced for the 2026 Sankranthi festival release, and 9th January was locked as the release date. The film's shoot did not start as per plans, and now it is certain that NTR's Dragon will not be released on Sankranthi or early summer. As said above, the NTR—Neel movie arrived on set late. At first, the team announced it would go on sets in October 2024, but the 1st schedule began in February 2025 last week in Hyderabad. NTR will join the Dragon sets in April. Due to a delay in shooting, NTR's Dragon will not be released on Sankranthi or early summer. It clearly opts out of the Sankranthi race. Megastar Chiranjeevi and Ravipudi's film was announced for Sankranthi 2026.

Buchi Babu Sana delivered a huge blockbuster on debut itself and after that, he spent a lot of time on a big-budget script and narrated it to NTR. NTR too liked the script and showed interest in collaborating with Buchi Babu and because of this, the director stayed alongside Tarak for script tweaks and changes.

But with Prashant Neel’s film committed as well, NTR felt the film with Buchi Babu would take much more time as he did not want to miss Prashant Neel’s film. He expressed the same to Buchi Babu and this script later went to Ram Charan who also okayed it immediately and an official announcement was also made. The talk in the industry is that this script has come out very well. The film is set to go on sets this April.

Now the twist is that Prashant Neel’s film with Tarak has been postponed due to the Salaar sequel. Had this happened earlier, NTR could have easily accommodated Buchi Babu’s film as Devara’s shooting would be completed in April. He could have worked parallelly for War 2 and Buchi Babu’s film as War 2 needs fewer dates of him.

But the moment has passed and even though NTR liked the script very much and has the space to do that film but can not get things back. Putting Buchi Babu aside for Prashanth Neel misfired badly. But Tarak can’t be blamed entirely as nobody expected these last-minute changes.
