Anil Kapoor Joins Jr NTR in Prashanth Neel's NTRNeel
Prashanth Neel, the director of KGF and Salaar, is making a new movie called NTRNeel with Jr NTR.
The movie has had some delays and changes.
Recently, they added Anil Kapoor as the bad guy.
Rukmini Vasanth and Tovino Thomas are also in the movie.
The movie was supposed to come out in January 2026, but now it might come out in June 2026 because they need more time for the special effects.
Director Prashanth Neel has cast Anil Kapoor as the main antagonist in his upcoming film NTRNeel.
Jr NTR is the lead actor in the film, with Rukmini Vasanth as the lead actress and Tovino Thomas in a supporting role.
The film has undergone script reworks and reshoots due to Jr NTR's feedback on the initial output.
The release date has been pushed back from January 2026 to June 2026 due to VFX work requirements.
