The title teaser of With Love, the acting debut of famed director Abishan Jeevinth, has gone viral. The film is directed by Madhan and produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth, and the teaser was launched by Rajinikanth himself.
Since its announcement, the project has created strong buzz among Kollywood audiences. Abishan Jeevinth impressed viewers with his directorial debut Tourist Family and even appeared in a cameo role in that film, showcasing his acting potential.
After the With Love teaser release, many fans began comparing Abishan Jeevinth to Pradeep Ranganathan. They claim he is following a similar career path within the industry.
Pradeep Ranganathan first entered cinema as a director with Comali, where he also made a cameo appearance. After Comali became a blockbuster, he debuted as a lead actor with Love Today. Fans now see a similar pattern in Abishan Jeevinth’s journey from Tourist Family to With Love.
The only major difference is that Pradeep Ranganathan directed his own acting debut. Abishan Jeevinth, however, is being introduced as a lead actor under another director’s vision.
Some people have taken the discussion further and suggest that Rajinikanth launched a competitor to Pradeep Ranganathan due to the latter’s rapid rise. This theory grew stronger as Soundarya Rajinikanth is producing With Love.
With Love carries decent buzz and expectations. The film is slated for release in February 2026, and viewers are waiting to see whether it will become a blockbuster and mark a strong acting entry for Abishan Jeevinth.
