Director Prashanth Neel recently discussed the upcoming film 'Dragon' and the significant decision made by actor Jr NTR to take on a dark and complex role. Neel described this choice as one of the most challenging in Jr NTR's career, highlighting the risks associated with portraying such a character. According to Neel, the character is the darkest he has ever created, necessitating three years of development to ensure the motivations behind the character's actions are well-founded. The film's teaser, released recently, features Jr NTR as a ruthless killer navigating a treacherous world of villains involved in the opium trade. In one striking scene, he stands atop a mountain surrounded by dead bodies, showcasing his fierce combat skills against multiple adversaries. The film is set to release in June next year and includes a strong supporting cast, featuring Biju Menon, Rukmini Vasanth, and Ashutosh Rana, among others.
