A source close to the production earlier revealed that the film will be titled Dragon. The decision to title the film Dragon was made possible thanks to the generosity of filmmaker Karan Johar. Karan held the rights to the title in Hindi and graciously relinquished them for Jr. NTR and Prashanth Neel's project.

Director Prashanth Neel is currently occupied with Salaar: Part 2 - Shouryanga Parvam starring Prabhas, and Jr. NTR's dates are also in high demand as he is busy with Devara: Part 1 and the subsequent sequel. However, the production team has confirmed that the filming for Dragon will commence in August 2024.
