Bengaluru, April 10 - Director Prashanth Neel shot to fame with Yash-starrer "KGF: Chapter 1" in 2018. It was the film that made Neel one of the visionary directors of the country. His upcoming "KGF: Chapter 2" is arguably the most anticipated Indian movie of the year, and one of the main reasons behind the film's popularity is Neel's vision behind it. ## "KGF2" is Neel's third directorial. His previous two movies, including his debut movie "Ugramm", were huge box office hits. The KGF film introduced Neel to the Pan India phenomena and now, he is working with a couple of the biggest stars of Indian cinema. During a recent interview with a Kannada news channel, Neel opened up about his future projects after "KGF 2". ## The director said that he is committed to only two projects.

Produced by Hombale Films, 30% shoot of "Salaar" has already been completed, and the shoot will resume in May this year. The action thriller will debut in theaters in the summer of 2023 in multiple languages, including Hindi. ## Apart from "Salaar", director Neel has confirmed that he will be teaming up with Jr. NTR, who is currently basking on the success of "RRR" which has grossed over 1000 crores worldwide. Neel said that he has been a huge fan of Jr. NTR for the last 20 years and is excited to work with him. Their maiden collaboration, tentatively titled "NTR31", will go on floors sometime in 2023 and will most likely release in 2024. ## The aforementioned films are the only two confirmed projects the filmmaker currently has. There have been multiple reports that Neel would be joining forces with the current talk of the town, Ram Charan for a Pan India film. However, Neel hasn't discussed such a film and it seems Ram Charan's film with him is not going to happen anytime soon. Meanwhile, Neel has a project which he wants to do with Srimurli.
