Besides the lead actors, Dude’s supporting cast includes R. Sarathkumar, Hridhu Haroon, Rohini, Aishwarya Sharma, and Dravid Selvam in important roles. The film is produced by Mythri Movie Makers, one of South India’s prominent production houses.

Before the release, Pradeep Ranganathan made headlines when a reporter questioned whether he fits the conventional mold of a hero. The reporter asked:

“You don’t look like you are hero material. But you seem to have a big fan following for someone who has done a few films. It happens very rarely. So, would you attribute it to hard work or luck?”

Co-star R. Sarathkumar intervened, offering his perspective, “You cannot say from A to Z who is hero material. Everybody here is hero material. You don’t have any specifications for a hero. A person who is doing any act which is going to be benefitting society is a hero.”
