Chennai, Apr 11: South Indian actor-writer-director Pradeep Ranganathan is back on the big screen with the Tamil sci-fi romantic drama LIK: Love Insurance Kompany, which released in theatres on Friday, April 10, 2026.

Directed by Vignesh Shivan and featuring Krithi Shetty in the lead role, the film clashed at the box office with Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur.

A section of viewers, however, appreciated the film’s technical aspects including music, cinematography, and VFX, with background score by Anirudh Ravichander receiving positive mentions.

The film is produced by Lalit Kumar, Nayanthara, and Vignesh Shivan under Rowdy Pictures and Seven Screen Studio.
