Tovino Thomos Confirms His Exit From Jr NTR and Prashant Neel’s ‘Dragon’: ‘It Is Very Hard To Allocate Dates’
Tovino Thomas has shared a major update on being part of Jr NTR and Prashanth Neel’s pan-India biggie, tentatively titled “Dragon.” The “RRR” star had announced in 2022 about his collaboration with Thomas, which was followed by a pooja ceremony in Hyderabad.
While the makers announced the release date of the Telugu biggie last year, there has been no update about the film since then.
Now, the Malayalam star has confirmed that he is no longer part of the film during the promotion of his upcoming movie “Pallichattambi” in Hyderabad.

“It is really hard to allocate dates, so I am not doing it,” said Tovino when asked about the Telugu film. “I don’t do multiple films at once. In Malayalam, we finish a film in one schedule. But in Telugu, a single project takes almost a year. I can give 3 months, not an entire year,” he added.
Talking about “Pallichattambi,” the Dijo Jose Antony-directed film also stars Kayadu Lohar in a lead role. It is set to hit the screens on April 10, a day after the Kerala Assembly elections. The actor also has a big release in May with “Athiradi”, co-starring Basil Joseph, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Shaan Rahman and Riya Shibu. It is directed by Arun Anirudhan.
On the other hand, the NTR Neel film is directed by Prashanth Neel of “Salaar” and “KGF” franchise fame. Also starring Anil Kapoor and Rukmini Vasanth, the film’s music is composed by Ravi Basrur.
