About the glimpse
The glimpse of Dragon has built an introduction video of the characters in the movie, concluding with the power-packed presentation of Anil Kapoor’s cop role. The four-minute and twenty-eight-second trailer begins with Indian history, the opium industry in pre and post-independent India.
Jr NTR plays the role of a ruthless killer amid the land of villains who strive to control the opium business. In one of the scenes from the glimpse, the actor was seen standing on the top of a mountain amid a pile of dead bodies. NTR is shown, all guns blazing, taking on villain after villain single-handedly in a place reminiscent of the coal fields of Salaar and the gold mines of KGF. The influence of Neel’s filmmaking and colour palette is clearly visible in the teaser.
It also stars Biju Menon, Rukmini Vasanth, Khushbu Sundar, Guru Somasundaram, Rajeev Kanakala, Ashutosh Rana, Anshuman Pushkar, Sidhant Gupta, Prabhas Srinu, Shatru, Shiva, and Bhimal Jeet Oberoi, among others. Dragon is set to release on June 11, 2027.
