Pradeep Ranganathan has begun promoting his upcoming film Dude, directed by debutant Keerthiswaran, which releases worldwide on October 17. The actor has been giving interviews where he shared interesting details about the film’s story and production journey.
In one interview, Pradeep revealed that he initially rejected the Dude script twice. The reason, he said, was the shocking twist at the heart of the story. He wasn’t sure if you, the audience, were ready for it.
Later, he explained that Mythri approached him again after his hit film Love Today. They had reworked parts of the script. When Pradeep finally watched Dude, he felt the changes worked perfectly. The scene that once worried him has now become one of the film’s strongest moments.
Soon after his statement went viral, social media users began forming theories. Some pointed to the final scene shown in Dude’s third single, where Pradeep kisses a dog. They suggested that the story centres on a bond between a boy and a dog.
Others criticised Pradeep, saying he has started altering scripts after just two hits. Trollers claimed this habit could limit a director’s creative freedom. Their reactions sparked a mix of curiosity and debate online.
Despite the noise, the buzz around Dude remains strong. The film carries high expectations, and everyone is waiting to see if it turns into a blockbuster when it hits theatres on October 17. Fans are eager to find out whether Pradeep Ranganathan can extend his winning streak once again.
