Three films, three centuries
In the video posted on his X handle, the actor was visibly moved as he expressed gratitude to the audience that helped him reach this milestone. He began by thanking his Tamil fans before extending his appreciation to moviegoers in Telugu-speaking states, Kerala, and Karnataka, as well as fans in international territories including Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and North America.
Pradeep also acknowledged the people who have been part of his creative journey so far. He mentioned Ravi Mohan, producer Ishari Ganesh, Kalpathi S Aghoram, Archana Kalpathi, director Ashwath Marimuthu, and Keerthiswaran, expressing how their trust and collaboration played a key role in his growth both as a performer and storyteller.

What Dude means for his career
Dude marks an important chapter in Pradeep’s career. Directed by Keerthiswaran, the film features Mamitha Baiju, Sarath Kumar, Hridhu Haroon, and Dravid Selvam in prominent roles. The music has been composed by Sai Abhyankkar, who makes his Tamil debut with this project.
For Pradeep, this achievement solidifies his reputation as one of the most bankable young stars in Tamil cinema. His previous outings Love Today and Dragon had already made him a crowd favourite, blending youthful energy with relatable storytelling. Dude continues that streak, striking a balance between fun, emotion, and mass appeal, the formula that has now brought him three back-to-back century earners.
In his thank-you message, Pradeep emphasized that these successes belong as much to his audience as to his team. “This is only possible because of your love and belief,” he said, calling his 100-crore hat-trick a shared victory. The humility and gratitude in his tone resonated with fans, who flooded his comments with congratulatory messages and admiration.

A rising star with a growing reach
With three commercial hits in a row, Pradeep now stands out as a rare talent who has seamlessly transitioned from directing to acting without missing a beat. His ability to connect with younger audiences, mix humour with heart, and deliver relatable characters has helped his films find acceptance not just in Tamil Nadu but across language borders.
As Dude continues its successful run-in cinemas, industry watchers see Pradeep’s achievement as more than a personal milestone; it signals the arrival of a new-age entertainer whose appeal cuts across regions. And if his message is anything to go by, this hat-trick might just be the beginning of a much longer winning streak.
