Pradeep
Ranganathan
has
been
getting
a
lot
of
praise
for
his
acting
and
filmmaking
in
Love
Today.
The
film
was
released
about
two
weeks
back,
and
it's
still
being
talked
about
a
lot.
Yesterday,
some
social
media
accounts
started
sharing
some
of
his
old
Facebook
posts
that
criticized
famous
personalities
in
Cricket
and
Cinema.
A
post
was
about
Nehra
and
Dhoni,
and
another
post
was
about
Sachin.
There
were
posts
about
Thalapathy
Vijay
and
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja
as
well.
Following
the
controversy,
Pradeep
deactivated
his
Facebook
profile
and
on
Twitter,
he
explained
why.
He
first
clarified
that
while
some
of
the
posts
were
real,
some
were
edited
to
make
him
look
bad.
He
said
that
people
evolve
over
time,
and
their
opinions
and
the
way
they
communicate
also
evolves.
He
went
on
to
say
that
he
is
an
evolving
human,
and
is
working
on
becoming
a
better
person
every
day.
He
added
that
he
was
not
angry
at
those
who
created
this
controversial
discussion
of
his
old
posts
with
some
fake
posts,
and
said
that
he
was
thankful
for
all
the
support
he
received
from
people
after
this
incident.
The
posts
were
dated
as
early
as
2010,
and
2011,
when
Pradeep
would
have
been
younger
than
20
years
old.
Social
media
users
voiced
their
support
saying
that
a
boy
of
that
age
could
not
possibly
know
the
etiquette
of
sharing
opinions
in
public
and
should
not
be
judged
so
harshly.
The
actor-director
was
previously
criticized
for
his
portrayal
and
focus
on
the
caste
of
the
character
that
Sathyaraj
had
played
in
the
movie.
He
emphasized
certain
practices
of
the
community
and
people
questioned
him
for
that.
He
answered
that
he
merely
pointed
out
the
routines
to
emphasize
the
discipline
and
structure
in
the
lives
of
people
who
follow
those
practices.
He
said
that
he
didn't
see
them
as
religious
or
caste-based
routines.
