Pradeep Ranganathan faced backlash online after he recreated a scene from his film "Dude" during promotional activities by pulling co-star Mamitha Baiju's hair. Many netizens criticized the act as "creepy" and inappropriate. The scene was reportedly recreated at the filmmakers' request for promotion, with fans defending Pradeep by stating it was part of the act they were asked to perform. However, the internet reaction remained divided, with some expressing discomfort over the gesture[5][6][7]. Additional context: Mamitha Baiju was absent from some promotional events as she is busy with another project featuring actor Suriya[1]. At the promotional event, Pradeep also shared an anecdote about Mamitha kicking him hard during shooting, which humorously resulted in his phone breaking[8]. Overall, the incident sparked considerable discussion about the appropriateness of such promotional antics.
