In a highly anticipated announcement, Jr NTR has finally announced the release date of his much-awaited movie with Prashanth Neel, the hit director of KGF and Salaar. The movie, provisionally named NTR-Neel or NTR31, will release on June 25, 2026, and create a wave of enthusiasm in the Telugu film industry and among global fans.
Following the huge success of Devara, NTR is on a roll, and his next moves are well thought out. The pairing with Neel has been in the limelight for a long time, and this announcement of its theatrical release has finally put to rest a film that has been delayed multiple times but never once lost public expectation.
A Collaboration of Titans: NTR and Prashanth Neel
This movie is the first-ever association of Tarak (NTR Jr) and Prashanth Neel, blending power-packed performance with raw, intense direction. Prashanth Neel, who specializes in creating intense, stylized storytelling with dark and gritty overtones, can be predicted to showcase NTR in a never-before-seen avatar.
Both NTR and Neel’s fans have been eagerly anticipating this combination for so long, and with the release date on June 25, 2026 now made official, hopes are running sky high. According to reports, the movie is going to be shot on a pan-India scale, which promises high-voltage action, engaging drama, and first-class technical standards.
Reports indicate that the script is written to maximize NTR’s mass appeal while providing a performance-oriented character, similar to Neel’s previous work with Yash and Prabhas. With this blend, the film is set to achieve a balance between larger-than-life scenes and emotional depth.
NTR’s Busy Lineup: WAR-2 and More
As he works on this big-budget project with Neel, NTR is also completing his role in WAR-2, a huge Bollywood franchisee film starring Hrithik Roshan and produced by Yash Raj Films. WAR-2 is part of the legendary YRF Spy Universe, which has movies such as Pathaan and Tiger 3.
As per sources in the know, NTR has already wrapped up a majority of his shooting for WAR-2, with only a few sequences and a dance number remaining to be shot with Hrithik. This Hindi action thriller will also go towards further increasing NTR’s already expanding North Indian fan base.
Clearly, Tarak finds himself in one of the busiest and most critical periods of his career, splitting his time across big-budget Telugu and Hindi films that not only display his acting abilities but also enhance his pan-Indian reach.
Journey from Temper to Pan-India Star
Since Temper released, NTR’s career has been on a steady rise. Movies such as Janatha Garage, Aravinda Sametha, RRR, and now Devara, have reflected his dedication to grow as an actor and select different and daring scripts.
All these movies further established him as versatile—as intense emotional portrayals to massy, action-oriented characters. Now, his NTR-Neel movie is going to be a turning point film in more ways than one—it not only promises entertainment but also gives action thrillers in Indian films a new take.
Even with the initial setbacks, the fans never lost faith in the venture. And now, with production already under way and a release date finalized, NTR31 is finally ready to bring to the table what has been long promised—an epic cinematic storm.
NTR Announces It Himself: June 25, 2026
Going to his official X (formerly Twitter) account, NTR announced the release date through a new poster with a very direct but very powerful message: “In cinemas June 25, 2026. See you there!” It took a one-liner declaration to do so, leaving social media crazy within minutes of going viral and getting trending quickly, with hashtagters such as #NTR31, #NTRNeel, and #TarakOnFire doing so.
This type of upfront announcement has been a hallmark gesture by top stars in the industry. In doing so, NTR not only generated buzz but also demonstrated his personal interest and enthusiasm towards the film.
The release date—tactfully scheduled during summer 2026—provides the film with a solid window to rule the box office, particularly with schools and colleges on vacation and viewers hungry for action-packed entertainments.
Hopes Sky-High for the 2026 Blockbuster
Both Prashanth Neel and NTR are accompanied by huge hopes. NTR has already demonstrated his box office magnetism and acting skills, particularly following the international success of RRR. Meanwhile, Neel’s style of storytelling—featuring strong protagonists, thunderous background scores, and intense visuals—is best suited for actors such as NTR.
Fans are hoping that Neel brings out an even fiercer version of Tarak, portraying him in an action-heavy, emotionally charged role. Industry insiders believe this project could be a game-changer in both their careers.
With music, VFX, action choreography, and casting all under wraps, the production crew is keeping mum about concrete details. But insiders say that the crew is going all out to make a spectacle that will be world cinema standard.
