Dude 2 is on cards. The original, starring Pradeep Ranganathan and Mamitha Baiju, was released last year. It became a blockbuster hit in Tamil and a decent performer in Telugu. However, its plot was not to the liking of many Telugu movie-goers, who found it too unorthodox.
No wonder they are not excited about Dude's sequel. "They shelved Premalu 2. And now, to make the matters worse, a cringe film like Dude is getting a new life. This is not done," a netizen commented. Another remarked, "Dude was misunderstood but it was inferior nevertheless. It clicked mainly because of its performances and music." A cine-goer joked that the male lead in the sequel could bear a child on behalf of his wife.
The vibe, however, is positive and anticipatory among Tamil fans, especially those who enjoyed the leads' chemistry and the first half's energy. Directed by Keerthiswaran, the film also features R Sarathkumar and Neha Shetty. Dude 2 is in the early stages of being worked out.
