The recently released glimpse of Dragon, starring Jr NTR, has set digital screens on fire. The teaser is racing toward the 100 million views milestone, and director Prashanth Neel has already switched on full promotional mode, engaging actively with the media.
In a latest interaction with Variety, Neel spoke in detail about Dragon and dropped a much awaited update for fans of Prabhas. Clearing the air around Salaar 2, the filmmaker confirmed that while his complete attention is currently on Dragon, Salaar 2 will be his immediate next project once Dragon is wrapped up. This confirmation has sent Prabhas fans into celebration mode.
Neel also addressed speculation surrounding KGF 3. He clarified that there is no progress on the project at present. According to him, both he and Yash are committed to their respective projects for the next few years, making KGF 3 a longer wait than expected.
Dragon is officially locked for a theatrical release on June 11, 2027. By that time, Prabhas is also expected to finish work on Spirit, which is targeting a March 5, 2027 release. With these timelines aligning neatly, industry buzz suggests that Prabhas and Neel will likely kick off Salaar 2 around mid-2027, with plans to hit screens sometime in 2028.
The high-voltage sequel will be backed by Hombale Films, promising another grand scale cinematic spectacle. For fans, the roadmap is now clear: Dragon first, then Salaar 2, and a long but exciting wait for what’s next from Prashanth Neel’s blockbuster universe.
