At the grand success meet celebrating Return of the Dragon entering the prestigious 100 crore club, the film’s team left fans both surprised and entertained with their sense of humour. The highlight of the evening was a playful recreation of one of the movie’s most iconic scenes a moment that quickly went viral online.

During the event, producer Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers took the stage along with the film’s lead actor, Pradeep Ranganathan. Since Pradeep isn’t fluent in Telugu, the team came up with a creative way to handle the speech. They recreated a hilarious scene from the movie, where the hero clears a job interview using a “proxy” set-up receiving real-time answers from a consultancy through a hidden person during a virtual interview. This time, producer Ravi Shankar acted as the “consultant,” feeding lines to Pradeep in Telugu, much to the delight of the audience.

In his unique and funny “proxy speech,” Pradeep said, “Thanks to all the media who came here. You guys made my movie a super-duper hit. Through you, Return of the Dragon reached the public and became a blockbuster. I’m truly happy, and I’m here in Hyderabad today just to thank you all. I hope you love my upcoming films too, and make them big hits like this one. Telugu audiences have shown me so much love, and now, I’ll take an off!” His speech, filled with charm and humour, had the audience cheering.

The video of this fun-filled moment quickly caught fire on social media, with fans appreciating both the creativity and Pradeep’s sporting attitude. The Return of the Dragon team not only celebrated their massive success but also showed how a bit of humour and spontaneity can make promotional events even more memorable. With the film already a blockbuster, this quirky celebration only added to the team’s winning streak.
