The shoot began earlier this year, with Prashanth Neel starting filming in March at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, initially without Jr NTR. After a brief schedule, the director moved to Karnataka for the first major schedule, and Jr NTR joined the team in the third week of April following his return from Japan. Since then, several key action sequences and important dialogue scenes featuring Jr NTR have been filmed, promising a high-octane cinematic experience.

The film is rumoured to be called 'Dragon'. 'Dragon' is described as a standalone period actioner. The film aims for a grand international release, targeting audiences across multiple languages.
