Pradeep Rangarajan’s Dragon Becomes a Massive Hit

Pradeep Rangarajan, who became an overnight sensation with the success of Love Today in 2022, has scored another hit with Return of the Dragon. The film, directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, released in both Tamil and Telugu on February 21, and has already crossed the Rs 100 crore mark, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of the year.
Pradeep, who also played the lead role in the film, traveled to Hyderabad to thank the Telugu audience for their support. He expressed his gratitude, saying, “The Telugu audience has treated me like one of their own, and I’m very thankful for that. They even started memes calling me their ‘adopted son.’”
Director Ashwath Marimuthu attributed the success of the film to its emotional depth. “If the emotion connects with the audience, it will succeed in any language,” said Ashwath. He also mentioned that Superstar Mahesh Babu had tweeted about his previous film Oh My Kadavule, which contributed to its success, and now he hopes Mahesh Babu will watch Return of the Dragon and share his thoughts on it.
