Directed by Vignesh Shivan, LIK is a futuristic rom-com that features Krithi Shetty as the female lead. In a recent interview with Suma, Pradeep Ranganathan admitted that he is under box-office pressure.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cLIK was supposed to be my second release as a lead actor. However, it was delayed due to CG and other factors. I&#8217;m happy it is releasing. I will be happy if the film hits Rs. 100 crores, but it is becoming a pressure for me. Now, people expect every film of mine to collect a minimum of Rs. 100 crores, and if it doesn&#8217;t collect that much, they might conclude it didn&#8217;t succeed. If the collection is below Rs. 100 crores it doesn&#8217;t mean the movie is not running well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the numbers, Pradeep Ranganathan said he would be happier if audiences appreciated the film. Can LIK emerge as his fourth consecutive hit as a lead actor after Love Today, Dragon, and Dude? Let&#8217;s wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After multiple delays, Pradeep Ranganathan&#8217;s Love Insurance Company (LIK) is finally hitting the big screens this Friday.
