NTR-Prashanth Neel Action Film Gets New Title After Legal Setback

The makers of NTR’s upcoming action film with director Prashanth Neel have started searching for a new title, according to a fresh report. They had been unofficially calling the film “Dragon,” but they recently decided to drop that name. Pinkvilla reported that the team began the renaming process after facing legal and branding issues.

Why the Team Dropped the Title ‘Dragon’

The team chose to drop “Dragon” because another Tamil film already holds that title. That film came out in 2025 and also released a Telugu-dubbed version. This situation causes two serious concerns—legal barriers and audience confusion in both Telugu and Tamil markets. Since both versions are easily available, the production team wants to avoid any mix-up or legal disputes.

Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts, who are producing the film, decided to take no risks. They now focus on finalizing a title that reflects the film’s grand scale and Jr NTR’s powerful screen presence. Sources close to the team say they will soon reveal the new name, which will sound bold, distinct, and fitting for the action-packed narrative.

What to Expect from the NTR-Neel Combo

This film brings together Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel, the director known for delivering blockbusters like KGF and Salaar. Fans already expect something massive. The new title will aim to capture the energy, vision, and larger-than-life feel that Neel usually brings to his movies while spotlighting NTR’s charisma.

Buzz also surrounds the casting, as many believe Rukmini Vasanth will play the female lead. The crew brought in Ravi Basrur to handle the background score, and he promises to create a powerful and energetic soundtrack that matches the film’s intense mood.

Release Date and Jr NTR’s Packed Schedule

The team plans to release the film in theatres on June 25, 2026. Meanwhile, Jr NTR continues working on another big film, War 2, where he stars alongside Hrithik Roshan under Ayan Mukerji’s direction. The makers plan to release War 2 on August 14, 2025, with Kiara Advani playing the female lead.

As War 2 boosts NTR’s nationwide appeal, fans eagerly wait for updates on the Neel project. The title hunt has only increased the film’s buzz and made it one of Tollywood’s most anticipated releases in recent years. Once the team locks in a new title, they plan to make an official announcement very soon.
