Pradeep Ranganathan

Pradeep Ranganathan, born July 25, 1993, in Chennai, is one of those guys who just sort of exploded onto the Tamil film scene and made everyone sit up. You’ve probably heard his name thanks to “Love Today” (2022), which honestly had people losing their minds with how relatable and hilarious it was. He’s not just acting—he’s writing too, and you can kind of tell he pours a chunk of himself into these stories. “Comali” (2019) came first, and man, what a ride. The whole waking-up-from-a-coma thing, trying to deal with a world obsessed with tech and social media, it was equal parts funny and kind of sad, in a way that sticks with you. People dig his style because it doesn’t feel like the same old recycled stuff you keep getting in rom-coms or coming-of-age dramas. There’s always this madcap energy, a bit of chaos, and a lot of heart. “Dragon” (2025) is brewing, and fans are already hyped, which is wild considering how tight-lipped everyone’s been about the plot. But with Pradeep behind it, expectations are sky-high. He’s got this knack for blending humor and real-life struggles, which is harder than it looks. The characters he creates? They’re awkward, stubborn, lovable—basically, people you’d actually know. Chennai’s got loads of talent, but Pradeep’s got this fresh, slightly offbeat thing going that just works. If you’re into stories that feel genuinely lived-in and not afraid to poke fun at the weirdness of growing up, his movies are worth a binge.
