Hyderabad: Jr NTR’s upcoming film, tentatively titled Dragon, is creating a lot of buzz in the Telugu film industry. Directed by Prashanth Neel, known for his work on KGF and Salaar, the movie is an action-packed drama that is already one of the most anticipated Telugu films in production. The film is being shot in Jordan, where the team is currently filming an intense 20-day schedule.
Dragon OTT Rights
In a major update, Dragon has secured a record-breaking digital rights deal with Netflix, reportedly worth Rs 125 crore. This makes it one of the biggest OTT deals in Tollywood history. The agreement is linked to the film’s performance at the box office. If the movie performs well, the OTT release will be delayed to maximise box office earnings. However, if it underperforms, the film will be available on Netflix sooner, with revised terms.
