What Prashanth Neel Said
In a conversation with Galatta Plus, Neel confirmed that Salaar 2 production will kick off right after Dragon is completed. He also addressed the future of KGF 3, noting that no decision has been made yet on when he’ll return to that franchise.
Interestingly, Neel also revealed that Dragon will mark a shift away from his signature hyper-stylized mass-action style — hinting at a mythological film series with a more colorful visual palette, and even a small intimate drama project in the pipeline.
