The cinematic world is abuzz with excitement as one of Tollywood’s biggest stars, NTR Jr, joins forces with renowned director Prashanth Neel for an upcoming film, set to hit theaters in January 2026. This collaboration between the RRR star and the visionary director behind the KGF franchise has already sent waves of anticipation throughout the industry.
On Friday, the project was officially announced with a traditional muhurat puja, attended by NTR Jr, Prashanth Neel, and their families, along with producers from the prestigious production houses, NTR Arts and Mythri Movie Makers. The film, tentatively titled NTRNEEL, is expected to be a grand spectacle, combining the star power of NTR Jr with the directorial genius of Neel.
The announcement of this project has ignited excitement among fans and moviegoers alike. Social media has been flooded with comments expressing the anticipation for what many are already predicting to be a blockbuster. “Best news of the day,” one user commented, while another excitedly wrote, “This will be a blockbuster for sure.”
This announcement comes at a time when NTR Jr is already generating significant buzz with his upcoming projects. He is currently gearing up for the release of Devara: Part 1, a highly anticipated film that also stars Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor. Directed by Koratala Siva and produced by Yuvasudha Arts in association with NTR Arts, Devara: Part 1 is set to release on September 27, 2024. The excitement for Devara has been steadily growing, especially after NTR Jr’s recent comments during an event in Hyderabad, where he assured fans that the wait for the film would be worth it. “It’s my promise to you all that the wait for Devara will be worth it and every fan will raise their collar in pride once the film releases,” he confidently stated.
In addition to Devara, NTR Jr is also a part of the much-awaited War 2, which will see him sharing the screen with Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, known for his films Wake Up Sid, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and Brahmastra, War 2 is shaping up to be a major release. Reports suggest that Kiara Advani might also be part of the cast, though an official announcement regarding the entire cast and release date is still awaited. The film is a sequel to the 2019 action thriller War, which featured Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, and Vani Kapoor, and was directed by Siddarth Anand. The original War was a massive success, earning over Rs 200 crores within just seven days of its release, making it one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of that year.
On the sidelines of the IIFA Awards 2023, Hrithik Roshan expressed his excitement about working with NTR Jr in War 2. “I am very excited,” Hrithik said when asked about his collaboration with the RRR star.
As NTR Jr continues to build his impressive filmography with a series of high-profile projects, his collaboration with Prashanth Neel is expected to be one of the biggest highlights of his career. Fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on NTRNEEL, and with its release slated for January 2026, the countdown to what promises to be an epic cinematic experience has officially begun.
