Ek Love Ya release gets pushed

Director Prem’s Ek Love Ya, which was initially scheduled for release in May, is likely to get delayed. The film, which marks the acting debut of Raanna and Reeshma Nanaiah, also features Rachita Ram. There are a couple of reasons for the release getting pushed. “One is, of course, the Coronavirus, which in a way has affected our film’s shoot. We had planned to shoot a song either in Egypt or France. But the virus has tied me up. Also, since music director Arjun Janya was recently hospitalised has been advised to take a month’s rest, I have strictly told him not to get pressurised. We will resume work on the music once he is fit. We have eight songs in the film, and we are shortlisting the singers meanwhile,” says Prem, whose film is now in the dubbing stage. “We also have CGI portion which will take time,” the director adds. 

The script for the film, produced by Rakshitha Film Factory, is written by Vijay Eshwar. Ek Love Ya has cinematography by Mahendra Simha.
