The acting bug has caught Reeshma Nanaiah and the newcomer, who is juggling her studies and acting career, can’t wait to get back to the sets of her debut film, Ek Love Ya.  The romantic drama, directed by Prem, will be Raana’s launch vehicle. It also features Rachita Ram in the lead role. Rakshita will appear in a cameo in Ek Love Ya.

Reeshma, who was busy attending online classes until a couple of days ago, has now got busy with rehearsals for the song shooting that is set to start on October 12. “The first three days of the shoot will take place in Bengaluru, and will then move to Ooty after which some patchwork requires to be done,” says Reeshma, adding, ‘‘The last time I faced the arc lights was in February, and it has been nearly eight months. Initially, I was okay with the lockdown, but later it started getting on my nerves. Though I tried to keep myself busy and fit with dancing and working out, there’s no better feeling than being in front of the camera.” 

Ek Love Ya is made under the banner Rakshita Film Factory and has Arjun Janya scoring the music. Mahendra Simha is handling the cinematography. 

After Ek Love Ya, Reshma’s next will be Maarga, a commercial entertainer that marks the directorial debut of Mohan. Maarga will see Reeshma share screen space with Chetan and Kushi. “Maarga will be my second film, and I am yet to begin shooting for it,” she says.
