‘Dragon’: First look of Pradeep Ranganathan - ‘Oh My Kadavule’ director’s next out
We had earlier reported that actor-director Pradeep Ranganathan is teaming up once again with his Love Today producers AGS Entertainment to star in a film titled Dragon which is directed by Ashwath Marimuthu.
The makers of the film have now released the first look of Dragon. Pradeep took to X to share the first look of the film.
Details regarding the plot and the rest of the cast and crew remain unknown at the moment. The group picture from the announcement video featured actor-directors KS Ravikumar and Mysskin but it remains unknown if they are a part of the project or if they were special guests at the film’s inauguration ceremony.
Pradeep, who made his directorial debut in 2019 with the Jayam Ravi starrer Comali, shot to fame after the release of his sophomore film Love Today, in which he also starred as the protagonist. Notably, he is also set to headline director Vignesh Shivan’s upcoming film, Love Insurance Kompany, which stars Krithi Shetty as the female lead with the rest of the cast including SJ Suryah, Seeman, Mysskin, Anandraj, Malavika, Sunil Reddy and Yogi Babu
Dragon is AGS Entertainment’s 26th project. The production house also backed Vijay’s latest movie, The Greatest of All Time, directed by Venkat Prabhu.
Ashwath is best known for the romantic comedy Oh My Kadavule. The film, which marked the director’s feature directorial debut, was headlined by Ashok Selvan, Ritika Singh and Vani Bhojan and featured Vijay Sethupathi in a cameo. He went on to remake the film in Telugu as 2022’s Ori Devuda, which starred Vishwak Sen, Mithila Palkar, and Asha Bhat in the lead roles with Venkatesh appearing in a cameo.

A vacuum cleaner haunted by a ghost is the kind of one-liner which can draw in a festival audience looking for a little light-hearted fun to fill the time slots available between the “heavier” films which require much closer attention. A useful ghost, the debut feature of Thai filmmaker Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke being screened in the world cinema category at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), even appears so in the initial hour. Until, the film becomes something more, with strong undercurrents of Thailand’s contemporary political history.

Sustainability is not an add-on, but stamped firmly into the process: every piece is biodegradable, waste-free and unembellished, free from glitter or beads. “Products should be sustainable and biodegradable so that our planet is not harmed,” says Anu Elizabeth Alexander, a student of Sishya, Adyar. At a recent exhibition, the stars she made sold the fastest, followed by the small diamonds. “I would like people to know about the process, how it is created, and that it is sustainable,” says Anu. Infanta Leon from Kotturpuram developed an interest in crochet as a teenager. It was a hobbyhorse that evolved into a steed that would help her embark on a journey of identity-shaping creative engagement. She started making Christmas-themed decor two years ago, spurred by a desire to craft safe, eco-friendly toys for children. “With a toddler at home, and my elder child sensitive to synthetic materials, I wanted to create items that were gentle, durable and tactile,” she explains. Her earliest creations were small amigurumi toys which gradually evolved into ornaments that could adorn Christmas trees with warmth and charm.
