Jr NTR’s Stunning Transformation Has Fans Buzzing as He Joins NTRNeel Shoot

Jr NTR is all geared up to kick off shooting for his much-anticipated collaboration with Prashanth Neel, tentatively titled NTRNeel. That’s right! The actor was spotted at Hyderabad airport earlier this morning as he headed to Bengaluru, joined by producers Ravi Shankar and Naveen Yerneni. Photos and videos of his noticeably lean and fit look have since gone viral, setting social media abuzz.

Mythri Movie Makers also took to their social media platforms to share a series of photos with Jr NTR from the airport, officially announcing the commencement of NTRNeel’s shoot on April 22. Their caption read: “THE HUNT BEGINS… Man of Masses @tarak9999 sets off to join the shoot of #NTRNeel from April 22nd. ABSOLUTE MAYHEM.”

In the pictures, Jr NTR is seen interacting warmly with the film’s team—posing for photos, exchanging greetings, and sharing a brief conversation before boarding his flight alongside producers Ravi Shankar and Naveen Yerneni.

According to reports, Jr NTR is set to begin filming in Kunta, Mangalore this Tuesday, kicking off the schedule with a high-octane action sequence. As the shoot progresses, fans can expect more exciting updates about the film in the coming weeks.

Interestingly, the film’s title may have been accidentally revealed by SS Rajamouli during the RRR: Behind and Beyond promotions in Japan. While discussing three major upcoming projects that he believes could take Telugu cinema to the next level, Rajamouli named Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel’s collaboration, Prabhas’s Spirit with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and Ram Charan’s Peddi with Buchi Babu Sana—thereby hinting at the title of NTR’s next.

While speculation is rife that Rukmini Vasanth will be cast as the female lead, an official announcement is yet to be made. The film is being bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers in association with NTR Arts and is set for a multilingual release. Adding to the excitement, the film’s music is being composed by Ravi Basrur, known for his powerful scores.
