Return of the Dragon: Cast & Crew
Pradeep Ranganathan leads the pack, with Anupama Parameswaran as his co-star. The film is directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, the brain behind Oh My Kadavule, known for his unique way of blending humor and emotions.

Return of the Dragon: Plot
Dragon (Pradeep Ranganathan) is having the worst time of his life—he’s failed a whopping 48 subjects in engineering and just went through a brutal breakup. In a desperate attempt t turn things around, he fakes his qualifications, lands a high-paying tech job, and even finds himself a rich girlfriend. Just when it seems like he’s finally winning, his college principal catches his bluff, throwing him into a much bigger mess than he ever saw coming.

#ReturnOfTheDragon The whole film depicts about a lie once told and a blunder once made which would chase you behind forever no matter how much time you subvert it and put back under the dormant trap. pic.twitter.com/o4HrgAFExe
