This video of star Sandalwood director Prashanth Neel erupting in joy as he celebrates the Royal Challengers Benguluru’s (RCB) memorable victory in the just concluded IPL finals against the Punjab Kings is going viral on social media.

Prashanth Neel, who celebrates his birthday today, watched the RCB vs PBKS finals on a giant screen on the set of his highly anticipated pan-India action drama featuring NTR, tentatively titled Dragon, at Ramoji Film City. Prashanth can be seen celebrating RCB’s first-ever IPL trophy along with his wife, Likitha Reddy Neel, and Dragon’s cast and crew members.

Sharing the video on her Instagram, Likitha Reddy wrote, “Perfect birthday gift to one of the craziest cricket fan I know,” revealing how big a cricket and RCB fan Prashanth Neel is. The maverick director has joined forces with NTR for the first time for NTRNeel. Produced under the Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts banners, the film is scheduled to open in cinemas worldwide on June 25, 2026.
