Lakshmi Kalyanam Actress Harshitha Full Interview | లక్ష్మి కళ్యాణం సీరియల్ ఫేమ్ హర్షిత ఇంటర్వ్యూ

Pradeep Ranganathan, the Tamil YouTuber-turned-actor, became an overnight sensation with his debut film Love Today. Made on a modest budget of ₹5 crore, the film turned into a massive blockbuster, grossing over ₹100 crore at the box office. Its success even led to a Hindi remake, Loveyapa, starring Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan. However, unlike the original, the Hindi version failed to impress audiences. Despite his newfound stardom and an exciting lineup of upcoming projects like Dragon, Love Insurance Kompany, and #PR4, Pradeep recently opened up about the struggles he faced in his early days in the industry.

In a candid revelation, Pradeep shared that during the casting process for Love Today, many actresses turned him down. “At the time, I had no established image as a lead actor. When I approached heroines for the film, some rejected me outright, while others politely declined. Many even mentioned that they preferred working only with established stars,” he recalled. However, his journey has taken a remarkable turn. For his upcoming film Dragon, he has signed on leading actresses like Anupama Parameswaran and Kayadu Lohar, proving how far he has come in his career.

With Dragon set for a grand release in Tamil and Telugu next week, industry insiders are eager to see how it performs at the box office. If the film resonates with audiences, it could further establish Pradeep Ranganathan as a bankable star. From facing rejections to leading high-profile projects, his inspiring journey is a testament to perseverance and dedication in the film industry.
