AGS Entertainment, one of the leading production houses in the South Indian film industry, has been consistently producing hit films. After the success of Love Today, AGS Entertainment and Pradeep Ranganathan are teaming up once again to present Return of the Dragon to audiences. The film stars Anupama Parameswaran and Kayadu Lohar as the female leads. Produced by Kalpathi S. Aghoram, Kalpathi S. Ganesh, and Kalpathi S. Suresh, the movie is directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, who gained recognition for his film Ori Devuda. The film is set to be released on February 21. In this context, a pre-release event was held on Sunday, where directors Harish Shankar, Sai Rajesh, Kishore Tirumala, and others were present as chief guests.
During the event, Director Harish Shankar said, “Pradeep Ranganathan spoke wonderfully in Telugu. Once we adopt a hero, whatever he does, we like it very much. Pradeep has built such an image here. I wish that Pradeep continues to make films without any gaps. Ashwath Marimuthu is an excellent director. Just by looking at the trailer, it seems this film will be a big hit. Mythri Movie Makers is a big name in Telugu cinema. Mythri Ravi garu is very proactive in talent scouting. Mythri in Telugu is like AGS in Tamil – they always back fresh content and new talent. After SKN spoke, we had nothing more to add. The Telugu dialogues for this film are well-written. I will be watching this film on the first day, first show on February 21. I request everyone to support this movie.”
Hero Pradeep Ranganathan shared, “When I came here for Love Today, I made a promise to everyone that I would speak in Telugu the next time. So, I’m trying to speak in Telugu now. The important thing isn’t whether I speak perfectly, but whether I’m making the effort. Our film Dragon is about a simple boy – our dragon is the effort to move forward in life. Everyone keeps trying to achieve something, and our dragon will remain in the hearts of everyone who strives like that. I sincerely thank the Telugu audience for their support. If we keep trying, we will achieve something one day. The Telugu audience gave great support to Love Today. After watching Baby, I had an emotional conversation with Sai Rajesh garu. I cried a lot after seeing that film; it left a lasting impact on me. Thanks to Kishore Tirumala garu, Harish Shankar garu, and SKN garu for supporting us. Thanks to Archana Medan, who produced our film. Ashwath and I have been friends for ten years, and it’s a pleasure to work with him. Thanks to Mythri for releasing our film in Telugu, and I’m happy to be working under their banner. I hope Archana garu gives me another opportunity. Our film is releasing on February 21. Please watch it.”
Film director Ashwath Marimuthu said, “The Telugu audience loves you the most. I told Pradeep that he should try speaking in Telugu, and he spoke wonderfully at the event today. Pradeep has reached this level because of his dedication. AGS is my home banner, and I am working on my next film under their banner. The AGS team has always supported me and guided me. I called Sai Rajesh while watching the first half of Baby. I admire all the films made by Harish Shankar. SKN garu does an excellent job of promoting films. Every technician wants to work under the Mythri banner. Kayaadhu acted wonderfully, and Anupama is a fantastic actress. She has dubbed in both Tamil and Telugu. Krishna wrote the Telugu dialogues and is now working on a film with SKN garu. Leon James’ music is going to be amazing. The Telugu audience always supports good films, and Dragon will be such a film. Everyone should watch and support our movie.”
Producer SKN said, “Pradeep garu and Ashwath garu have been very supportive of our movie Baby. They have praised our movie a lot. When I saw the trailer of Pradeep garu’s Love Today. I was convinced that it was the next big thing. I really admire Ashwath garu’s Ori Devuda. I am sure Dragon will also be a huge hit. Krishna, who wrote the dialogues for the Telugu version, has already told me the story. This movie is going to be amazing. AGS released Pushpa in Tamil in a wonderful way, and I hope the audience makes this movie a big hit.”
Kayadu Lohar said, “Thank you to Harish Shankar garu and Sai Rajesh garu for coming to our event. This is a very special movie for me as it’s my first Tamil and Telugu film. Ashwath is an incredible director, and I would love to work again and again with a production company like this, which supports quality content and new talent. Pradeep is very talented. He has made his mark as an actor, director, and producer. Everyone should watch and support Dragon.”
Producer Archana Kalpathi said, “Our film Love Today was a big hit with the Telugu audience. Pradeep and Ashwath Marimuthu are very popular with the Telugu audience. This is not just a youth movie; it is a film that the entire family can enjoy together. Thanks to Mythri for supporting us with the release of Pushpa. I hope everyone will support Dragon.”
Mythri producer Ravi Shankar said, “Pradeep’s Love Today was a big hit in both Telugu and Tamil. After that, I spoke to Pradeep and the producers, and now we are making a film with Pradeep. The director liked the story and began the project. When Pradeep learned that the director was coming by bike, he gifted me a car. Usually, gifts are given when a film is a hit, but this is the first time I have seen a gift given as soon as the story is liked. Pradeep is truly remarkable. Archana is achieving success with great stories in both Tamil and Telugu. I wish this film becomes a big hit,” he said.
Director Sai Rajesh said, “I am a big fan of Pradeep Ranganathan’s writing, acting, and direction. I hope Dragon becomes a big hit, just like Love Today. Pradeep and Ashwath called me during my Baby time and praised me. Everyone should watch Dragon and support it,” he said.
Director Kishore Tirumala said, “When I saw the trailer of Love Today, I felt it was going to be a blockbuster. Now, after watching the trailer of Dragon, I feel the same. I think Pradeep Ranganathan has acted wonderfully, and Ashwath’s direction and storytelling are amazing. I hope this film becomes a big hit.”
