Pradeep Ranganathan fans are in for a double delight! While his much-anticipated film Dude has already been announced as a Diwali release, it’s now confirmed that another film starring the actor, titled LIK, will hit theatres even earlier.

Pradeep, who began his career directing Comali starring Jayam Ravi and later delivered a blockbuster performance in Love Today, continues his successful streak. After the success of Dragon, he is currently working on two back-to-back projects — Dude and LIK.

While Dude is slated for a pan-Indian release in five languages this Diwali (October 20), Pradeep recently announced that LIK will release on September 18, giving fans a head start to the celebration.

LIK is directed by Vignesh Shivan and carries high expectations thanks to its impressive star cast, which includes S.J. Suryah, Keerthy Shetty, Yogi Babu, Mysskin, Anandraj, Malavika, Sunil Reddy, Gouri Kishan, Manimekalai, Radha Ravi, and more.

The film is jointly produced by Anirudh under Rowdy Pictures and Seven Screen Studios. With cinematography by Sathyan Sooryan and editing by Pradeep Raghav, LIK promises to be a stylish, star-studded entertainer.
