“What’s up, dude?”—this Diwali, that’s exactly what Tamil cinema fans will be shouting as Pradeep Ranganathan gears up to deliver a knockout punch with his rugged new avatar in Dude!
The first look of the film has just dropped, and trust us—it’s not your regular boy-next-door transformation. Bruised face, fierce eyes, and that yellow sacred thread around his hands? Pradeep means serious business.
The film, previously known as PR 04, is now officially titled Dude, and it’s all set to bring the fireworks this festive season. Directed by Keerthiswaran, who’s worked under Sudha Kongara, and backed by the powerhouse Mythri Movie Makers, Dude is already turning heads.
And guess what? Netflix has bagged the post-theatrical rights—so even if you miss it in theatres (which you shouldn’t!), your binge-mode is sorted.
