A video of Jr NTR reacting strongly to the behaviour of his security staff during his birthday celebrations has gone viral on social media. The incident reportedly happened outside the actor’s residence in Hyderabad, where a large number of fans had gathered late at night to celebrate his 43rd birthday on May 20.
In the video, Jr NTR stepped outside to greet fans who had assembled near his home. As some fans tried to move closer to the actor, security personnel attempted to push them back to control the crowd. Jr NTR appeared upset by the way fans were being handled and immediately reacted to the situation.
The actor can be heard telling the security staff, “All this chaos happened because of you.” The moment quickly gained attention online, with many fans praising the actor for speaking up in support of the crowd gathered to meet him.
At the same time, Jr NTR has also been in the news because of the first glimpse of his upcoming film Dragon. The teaser gives audiences a look at the actor in one of his darkest and most intense roles so far. Directed by Prashanth Neel, the action drama is scheduled for worldwide release on June 11, 2027.
The teaser introduces Jr NTR as “Luger,” an assassin working in a violent world connected to narcotics, crime, and political unrest. The story is set in 1967 and focuses on the Golden Triangle and the international opium trade. The teaser combines historical elements with large scale action scenes.

The video begins with visuals of a gun being loaded and scenes linked to British rule in India. A voiceover says, “The British may have arrived in India for cotton, steel and spices, but the reason they stayed for 250 years was a plant.” The teaser then shifts focus to the opium trade and its impact after British rule ended.
The 4 minutes and 28 seconds glimpse also features brief appearances by Rukmini Vasanth and Ashutosh Rana. Towards the end, viewers are introduced to Jr NTR’s character Luger, who is described as the Assassin in Chief of the Afghan Trading Company.
Another important part of the teaser is the appearance of Anil Kapoor, who plays a narcotics bureau chief. The film marks his second collaboration with Jr NTR after War 2.
