Pradeep Ranganathan faces backlash for old posts on Yuvan Shankar Raja, Sachin Tendulkar; he claims they have been photoshopped

One of the alleged posts reads, “yuvan shankar raja waste,fraud (sic).” Notably, Yuvan Shankar Raja has composed the music for Love Today, and Pradeep has been heaping praise on the composer in recent interviews.

On top of that, a post that is being shared online alleges he called Tendulkar selfish and used a cuss word for him.

This has resulted in severe backlash for the director online.

Pradeep wrote, “A lot of posts that has been circulating has been photoshopped. The facebook account has been deactivated as even changing one word ,changes a lot of things. Im not angry on the people trying to change things, instead I thank them for showing me how much people support me (sic).”

He added, “Also few of the posts are real . But Posts with cuss words are fake. I’ve made mistakes , with age all of us grow and learn , i’ve tried correcting it . I still try to become a better person each day :) (sic).”
