Dude: Pradeep Ranganathan Deemed 'Not Hero Material', Sarath Kumar Defends His Co-Star

At a pre-release a reporter asked the actor "You don't look like you are hero material. But you seem to have a big fan following for someone who has done a few films. It happens very rarely. So, would you attribute it to hard work or luck?"Replying to the journalist before Pradeep Ranganathan, was his Dude co-star veteran actor, Sarath Kumar. He intervened to say, "You cannot say from A to Z who is hero material. Everybody here is hero material. You don't have any specification for a hero. A person who is doing any act which is going to be benefitting the society is a hero."

Pradeep Ranganathan, accepted his answer with humility, thanking him, and said, "Hardwork is there. I have been thinking over the last few months about the love I have been getting. There are a lot of talented people like me. I have seen. I think people see themselves in me. When they see the screen, they feel they are the hero. They are a part of it they are acting in it. They are romancing in it, they are fighting. So, when they see themselves in me, I am already a hero."
