Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel
Get ready for a cinematic explosion! The hugely anticipated collaboration between superstar Jr NTR and visionary director Prashanth Neel, tentatively titled NTRNeel, has officially set its arrival date. Mark your calendars, because this powerhouse project from Mythri Movie Makers is storming into theatres on June 25, 2026.
The film is backed by the successful Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts. Producers Kalyan Ram Nandamuri, Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Shankar Yalamanchili, and Hari Krishna Kosaraju are bankrolling what`s being touted as their most monumental venture yet, aiming for a scale comparable to the epic KGF films.
Both the star and the director come into this project with incredible momentum. Jr NTR is fresh off the success of Devara: Part 1, the third highest-grossing Telugu film of 2024, which also charmed audiences in Japan.
Before that, he starred in the global phenomenon RRR, a film celebrated for winning the National Award for Best Original Song for "Naatu Naatu", making history as "the first song from an Indian film, as well as the first from an Asian film, to win in this category." Impressively, NTR hasn`t seen a box office dip since 2014`s Rabhasa.
Prashanth Neel, meanwhile, directed the blockbuster Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, which dominated the box office and uniquely became the first Indian film to achieve the feat of being a mainstay on OTT platforms throughout the year. This followed his industry-shaking KGF films, with KGF: Chapter 2 becoming the third highest-grossing Indian film ever.
