DRAGON IS A FANTASY FILM WITHOUT FANTASY ELEMENTS

FIVE years after his successful debut, Oh My Kadavuley, director Ashwath Marimuthu has joined hands with his longtime friend, actor-director Pradeep Ranganathan, for Dragon, which is set to release in theatres on February 21. While the trailer depicts a reckless college-going protagonist, Ashwath clarifies, "It is just one side of the story. You haven't seen the repercussions Dragon/Ragavan (Pradeep) faces due to his devil-may-care attitude."

Addressing criticisms which point to the glorification of a rebellious college student, Ashwath explains that he needs to depict something first to show that it is wrong. "The trailer has several scenes where Dragon shows no concerns about completing his degree. But you are yet to see what happens next," he says.
