"LOVE TODAY STARTED WITH A LOT OF TEARS" - Pradeep Ranganathan

Pradeep Ranganathan is an enthusiastic, multi-tasking director, who has directed a blockbuster movie "Comali", which was well received by the audience. Hel also got the Best Debut Director award from SIIMA for the same. He has acted and directed a movie "Love Today" which was recently released and is getting rave reviews from the audience and film critics.

1. Is acting your passion? Since you were a director by trade, how did you get into acting? 

Acting wasn't my passion, I don't know if direction was on my list too. I just dreamt of making a short film and started making it while I was in college. The guy who was supposed to act in my short film had some of his college exams so eventually; I ended up acting in my second short film as I've invested more on the same. In my first short film, the actors got all the recognition and not the director. After my second short film, I kind of liked the recognition as an actor. Acting was always on cards but not really a passion. I always wanted to try each and every aspect of cinema. I used to play multiple roles like cinematography, editing, vfx, sfx for the reason I didn't have money and had to do everything. But now, I've reduced the aspects that I was doing as I have money and concentrate on the things that I want to do. When I was doing Comali, I thought it would be nice if I acted. So after Comali, I just decided to act. I had a lot of opportunities, big things opened up. I liked the recognition and wanted to try this too.

2. What are the toughest aspects of making a film today?
