After
making
The
Villain
with
Shivarajkumar
and
Sudeep,
director
Prem
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
his
next
film,
Ek
Love
Ya.
The
romantic
thriller
with
stars
newcomer
Rana
in
the
lead
role.
The
director-producer,
in
a
recent
interview
with
Deccan
Herald,
spoke
about
his
whilst
stating
that
it
caters
to
the
sensibilities
of
today’s
generation.
Prem
said,
“The
story
is
inspired
by
a
real-life
couple
who
went
through
very
tough
phases
before
they
could
finally
get
married
and
settle
down.
They
were
based
in
Bengaluru
when
the
incidents
took
place.
They
have
now
relocated
overseas
for
good.”
He
went
on
to
add,
“The
incidents
are
factually
true
but
we
have
added
some
fictional
elements
to
give
a
different
feel
and
flavour
to
the
film.
I
am
sure
many
couples
in
the
city
will
be
able
to
connect
to
what
is
narrated
in
the
film.”
On
being
quizzed
about
working
with
newcomers,
Prem
replied,
“Rana
and
Reshma
were
trained
for
a
couple
of
months
before
they
were
ready
to
start
shooting.
New
faces
bring
in
a
lot
of
originality
to
the
film
and
add
a
sense
of
freshness
to
the
script.
It
takes
longer
to
work
with
newcomers
but
the
effort
is
worth
it.”
The
Jogi
fame
director
also
spoke
about
the
music
of
the
film
comprising
of
a
total
of
eight
songs.
“Four
songs
have
been
written
by
me
and
I’ve
got
new
lyricists
to
write
the
other
four.
While
three
songs
have
been
recorded
in
India,
the
rest
have
been
recorded
with
the
Symphony
Orchestra
in
Europe.
We’ve
spent
an
exorbitant
amount
on
just
the
music
because
we
wanted
to
have
music
that
was
of
world-class
quality.
We
have
to
shoot
three
more
songs
in
Rajasthan,
Gujrat
and
one
in
Greece,”
said
Prem.
The
one-minute
teaser
of
Ek
Love
Ya
was
unveiled
last
week.
The
highly
awaited
film
is
all
set
to
hit
the
silver
screens
in
May
this
year.
