By: Tupaki Desk | 14 Feb 2025 8:55 AMPradeep Ranganathan, the Tamil YouTuber-turned-actor, got to be an overnight sensation with his make-a-big appearance film Love Today. Made on a humble budget of ₹5 crore, the film turned into an enormous blockbuster, raking in ₹100 crore at the box office. Its victory was indeed driven to a Hindi remake, Loveyapa, featuring star kids Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan. Be that as it may, not at all like the first, the Hindi adaptation fizzled to awe audiences. In spite of his newly discovered popularity and a solid lineup of up-and-coming projects like Dragon, Love Insurance Kompany, and #PR4, Pradeep as of late opened up approximately the battles he faced when beginning out within the industry.
In a candid revelation, Pradeep shared that amid the casting process for Love Today, numerous heroines turned him down. "At the time, I had no on-screen image. When I drew closer to actresses for the film, some rejected me immediately, whereas others politely declined. Many indeed told me they would as it were work with set-up star heroes," he recalled. However, things have changed radically since that point. For his up-and-coming film Dragon, he has roped in popular actresses like Anupama Parameswaran and Kayadu Lohar, demonstrating how far he has come in his career. The film, set to release next week, has already produced a buzz with its engaging trailer.
With the film set for a grand release in both Tamil and Telugu, industry insiders are eager to see how it performs at the box office. If Dragon strikes a chord with audiences, it might further cement Pradeep Ranganathan's status as a bankable star. Having gone from being rejected by heroines to featuring big-budget projects, his travel may be a testament to perseverance within the film industry.
