Actor Pradeep Ranganathan of Love Today fame awaits the release of 'Return of the Dragon' on February 21. The film is bankrolled by Kalpathi S. Aghoram, Kalpathi S. Ganesh, and Kalpathi S. Suresh, and is being released in Telugu by Mythri Distributors.
Speaking at the film's pre-release event in Hyderabad, Mythri's Y Ravi Shankar said that he is currently producing a movie headlined by Pradeep Ranganathan. This one will be a Tamil movie by Mythri Movie Makers. "After Love Today became a big hit, I tried to buy its remake rights in Hindi. Due to technical reasons, it couldn't be materialized. Pradeep is always humble and simple. AGS producers are amazing people. It is good that they are focusing just on Telugu and Tamil while producing content movies. The banner is not after large-scale movies on a pan-Indian scale. Return of the Dragon is coming out in Telugu at a time when the audience are hungry for entertainment. This film is going to be a sensation," Ravi Shankar said.

Director Ashwath said that actor Pradeep is where he is today because of his dedication to the craft. He thanked AGS for always encouraging him.

Pradeep Ranganathan said that the story is about a youngster from humble origins. He suggested that the film is about attainment and aiming for the next stage in life. He thanked the guests who graced the occasion. Pradeep is fond of the Telugu audience.
