Dude, released last week, emerged as the Diwali winner. Starring Pradeep Ranganath and Mamitha Baiju as the lead pair, the youthful rom-com crossed the Rs. 100 crore gross mark, marking the third consecutive film to achieve this milestone for Pradeep. The film was helmed by newcomer Keerthiswaran.

In a recent interaction, Keerthiswaran talked about Mamitha’s character in the film. It is a fact that audiences are divided over Mamitha’s role as Kural/Kundhana.

Speaking about that, the director said, “When I wrote Mamitha Baiju’s character, I did not want to portray her as an ideal girl, nor did I want to show her in a negative light. It should feel real, like the girls we meet in today’s world and the ones I talk with. This character is sweet, caring, empathetic, and a bit vulnerable.”
