The upcoming film of #NTRNeel, directed by KGF fame Prashanth Neel featuring Jr NTR, is set against the backdrop of these events from 1969 if reports are anything to go by. The images on the poster released today hints that the story will explore the mysteries and drama of that time, possibly looking at how drug trafficking, politics, and people’s lives were all connected.
In 1969, something strange happened in the area where the borders of China, Bhutan, and India’s Golden Triangle meet. The events seem to have involved the arrest of a famous drug dealer named Khun Sa after he talked with a group called the Shan State Army (SSA).
Khun Sa was known as the “Opium King” and controlled a lot of the heroin trade in the Golden Triangle region. He was caught in the China-Bhutan-India border area after meeting with the SSA. It’s not clear exactly how he was arrested, but it likely involved cooperation between the authorities of China, Bhutan, and India to catch this criminal. The China-Bhutan-India border region has always been a place of tension between the three countries, as they all claim parts of the land. Now that #NTRNeel is set in this real backdrop, many are wondering if Jr NTR is indeed doing a biopic on Khun Sa.
While fans are excited for the film’s release on January 9, 2026, the setting of the story in this little-known part of history in a strategically important and culturally rich region promises to make the film unique and interesting.
