Prabhas and director Prashanth Neel are gearing up to reunite for the much-awaited Salaar 2, but only after Neel completes his ongoing project Dragon with NTR. The director, best known for his blockbuster KGF series, has recently captured attention with Dragon’s first glimpse, which received a roaring response from fans online.

Currently, Prashanth Neel is fully immersed in Dragon, which is being mounted on a grand scale and is slated for a theatrical release on June 11, 2027. The anticipation for the film is sky-high, with social media abuzz after the teaser dropped, reflecting Neel’s knack for delivering mass entertainers. Meanwhile, Prabhas is wrapping up his own busy slate, juggling films like Fauzi, Spirit, and the futuristic Kalki 2898 AD.

According to sources, Neel and his team have already started planning for Salaar 2, with the scriptwork underway. However, filming will commence based on Prabhas’s availability, as the pan-India star is expected to finish his current commitments by mid-2027. It’s also reported that Prabhas is bound by a three-film deal with the KGF producers, with Salaar 2 being one of the marquee projects.

Once Dragon releases, fans can look forward to Neel shifting his focus to Salaar 2, before he takes on the much-anticipated KGF: Chapter 3. Stay tuned for more updates on these massive ventures.
