Vasishta Simha: Despite challenges, Love Li completes 25 days in theatres

Vasishta Simha's latest outing, Love Li, directed by debutant Chetan Keshav, recently celebrated 25 days of theatrical run. Produced by Ravindra Kumar under the Abhuvanas Creations banner, the film continues to play across more than thirty theatres in Karnataka.

A special ceremony was held to commemorate this achievement, during which the producers honoured the film's team members as they reflected on the collective efforts and dedication that went into making Love Li a reality.

During the celebration, lead actor Vasishta Simha expressed his gratitude, acknowledging the media's support and the audience's appreciation. "June was a critical month for us, fraught with challenges," he shared. "Despite these hurdles, our film made it to the screens, thanks to Chetan Keshav's incredible direction. Those who have watched the film have praised the story, but we are still hoping for a larger audience turnout."

Executive producers Balakrishna and Krishna echoed Simha's sentiments, thanking everyone who contributed to the film's 25-day success. They highlighted a recurring concern: the lack of support for Kannada films compared to other languages. "When a producer succeeds, the profits are reinvested in new projects, creating numerous jobs. It's vital for the local industry that Kannada films receive the encouragement they deserve."

Chetan Keshav expressed his joy at the film's reception. "Having worked with directors like Narthan (Mufti) and Prashanth Neel (KGF), I had a dream to direct a good Kannada film, and Love Li has fulfilled that dream. While the praise is heartening, we still hope for more viewers to come and enjoy our work."

Actor Stefy Patel extended her gratitude in Kannada, adding a personal touch to the event that also saw the presence of veteran actors Dattanna, Cockroach Sudhi, Shekar, Vardhan, Baby Vanshika, and crew members including music director Anoop Seelin, lyricist Pramod Maravante, cinematographer Ashwin Kennedy, editor Harish Komme, sound designer Abhinandan, and director Mahesh Kumar.
