The first glimpse of the much-anticipated film 'Dragon' has become one of the biggest talking points among fans. Released on May 19, just a day before Jr NTR's birthday on May 20, the teaser grabbed attention for its dark visuals, intense action sequences, and the powerful introduction of the lead character. Many viewers felt that the film would be a violent action drama after watching the glimpse. However, director Prashanth Neel has now revealed that the teaser only shows the background of the story and not its main emotional journey.
Prashanth Neel's Clarification on 'Dragon'
According to the director, the glimpse was designed to introduce the world of the film and set the stage for what is coming next. In an official statement, Prashanth Neel said, "What we showed in the glimpse is just the setting. From what we have communicated in the teaser is very contrary. It's like I told you, it's just a setting. It's setting the playground so to speak. But the real drama of the movie is that we are attempting and we probably will end up making one of the most patriotic movies ever seen." This statement has surprised fans who were expecting a straightforward action flick.
Details from the 'Dragon' Teaser
Speaking about the teaser of 'Dragon', it shows that the film is set in 1967 and tells the story of a dangerous world connected to opium plantations and the global drug trade. The narrative slowly builds towards the arrival of Luger, played by Jr NTR, who is introduced as the Assassin-in-Chief of the Afghan Trading Company. In the teaser, Jr NTR delivers a powerful dialogue: "God gave me a boon - the moment I pull the trigger, I forget everything." This line presents him as a fearless and deadly man operating in a violent environment. The film also stars Anil Kapoor as Narcotics Bureau chief Raghuveer Rathod and Biju Menon as Jaleel Rahman.
