Sonu
Gowda
Chose
The
Film
For
Uppi
While
talking
to
TOI,
the
other
lead
actress
of
I
Love
You
said,
"I
have
never
worked
with
him
before
and
was
looking
forward
to
an
opportunity.
Generally,
Upendra
films
tend
to
have
strong,
bold
female
characters."
She
Expected
Bold
Scenes
"I
was
expecting
something
like
that
for
me.
But
once
I
got
the
script
I
wondered
if
I
could
pull
it
off,
because
she
is
rather
innocent," she
further
added.
Sonu
Gowda's
role
in
the
film
was
maintained
as
a
secret
for
a
long
time.
She
Was
Taken
Aback
The
actress
however
did
not
know
that
she
wouldn't
appear
on
the
poster
or
trailer.
Talking
about
she
said,
"Initially,
I
was
a
bit
taken
aback,
because
I
didn't
know
when
I
would
ever
get
another
chance
to
work
with
Upendra
and
wanted
to
be
on
the
poster.
But
then,
as
I
began
shooting
for
the
film
I
realised
that
what
mattered
was
not
whether
I
am
in
the
trailer
or
a
poster."
Finding
Deeper
Meaning
Of
Love
The
actress
described
the
film
as,
"
I
Love
You,
is
a
love
story,
no
doubt,
but
it
also
an
exploration
of
the
emotion,
primarily
from
the
point
of
view
of
Upendra's
character,
who
starts
off
believing
that
it
is
all
about
lust
and
nothing
more.
How
he
comes
to
understand
the
deeper
meaning
of
love
and
the
respect
one
needs
to
give
a
partner,
forms
the
crux
of
the
story
and
my
character
plays
an
important
part
in
getting
him
there."
