Jr. NTR joins the shoot following the success of Devara: Part 1, which emerged as the third highest-grossing Telugu film of 2024. The film was also released in Japan, where it received a warm reception from international audiences. Director Prashanth Neel also returns to the director’s chair after the box office hit Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, which had a strong theatrical run and went on to trend on multiple OTT platforms throughout the year.

NTRNeel is being produced on a large scale by Kalyan Ram Nandamuri, Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Shankar Yalamanchili, and Hari Krishna Kosaraju. The collaboration between Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts hints at a film with wide-ranging appeal and a focus on high production values.

While no official release date has been announced yet, industry observers note that the film is being positioned as a major action entertainer with a pan-India outlook, continuing the trend of large-scale collaborations between star actors and commercially successful directors. With filming set to begin this week, further updates regarding the cast, plot, and title are expected in the coming months.
