Actor-director Pradeep Ranganathan is reportedly set to collaborate with noted Telugu filmmaker Chandra Sekhar Yeleti for a new project, which could mark his first full-fledged film in Telugu.

Pradeep, who was last seen in Keerthiswaran’s Dude, has already built a strong fan base in the Telugu states with back-to-back successes like Love Today, Dragon, and Dude. The potential collaboration with Yeleti—known for films like Aithe, Anukokunda Oka Roju, Sahasam, and Manamantha—has generated significant buzz.

While an official confirmation is still awaited, reports suggest that the project could be an action thriller backed by Mythri Movie Makers. The production house has previously collaborated with Pradeep on Dude and is known for major ventures like Pushpa 2, Good Bad Ugly, and Ustaad Bhagat Singh, along with upcoming projects such as Ranabaali, Soori 07, and Allu Arjun’s AA23.

Meanwhile, Pradeep Ranganathan is gearing up for the release of Vignesh Shivan’s sci-fi romantic drama Love Insurance Kompany (LIK), which is slated to hit theatres on April 10 after multiple delays.
