Director Prashanth Neel is reportedly ditching the desaturated, monochromatic “coal-mine” aesthetic that defined the ‘KGF’ series and ‘Salaar’ .
For his upcoming collaboration with Jr NTR, titled Dragon, Neel is opting for a vibrant and colourful visual palette.
Sources indicate the film will feature bright, high-definition visuals and expansive open-space cinematography, moving away from the claustrophobic, gritty tones of his previous works.
The team is currently in Jordan for a massive 20-day schedule to film three high-octane action sequences.
Jr NTR has undergone a physical transformation for the role, recently going viral for his rugged, bulked-up look and sharp beard.
The film, which also stars Rukmini Vasanth, Anil Kapoor, and reportedly Tovino Thomas, is officially locked for a worldwide theatrical release on June 25, 2026.
