Pradeep Ranganathan Addresses Dhanush Comparisons
During a recent press conference, Pradeep Ranganathan was asked if he was trying to mimic Dhanush. With a smile, he clarified that any similarities could be attributed to their similar body types and facial features. He stated, “It’s not a conscious effort. Perhaps it’s because of the body type or face structure that people see a resemblance, but I don’t believe in it.”
This isn’t the first time Pradeep has confronted such comments. Earlier this year, while promoting *Dragon*, he remarked, “I’ve heard this often. I’m not trying to imitate anyone. It could just be my physique or face. I don’t know if it’s good or bad; I just see myself in the mirror.” Director Ashwath Marimuthu also came to his defense, asserting, “Pradeep Ranganathan is his own person. I don’t see the actor you’re referring to.”
