Darling
Krishna
and
Rachita
Ram
are
all
set
to
team
up
for
the
first
time
on
the
big
screen.
The
duo
has
signed
a
romantic
drama
named
Love
Me
Or
Hate
Me.
The
film
was
launched
on
Friday
and
is
being
helmed
by
debutant
director
Deepak
Gangadhar.
Interestingly,
the
movie’s
title
has
been
inspired
by
a
memorable
song
of
Dr
Rajkumar
from
his
film
Shankar
Guru.
Krishna
and
Rachita
were
supposed
to
commence
shooting
for
the
film
this
summer.
However,
due
to
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19
and
the
lockdown,
the
filming
had
to
be
deferred.
According
to
reports,
the
romantic
caper’s
narrative
will
focus
on
the
two
lead
actors
and
is
spread
over
different
timelines.
Krishna
opened
up
about
the
project
with
TOI
and
revealed,
"We
were
to
start
in
April,
but
there
was
a
delay.
This
is
a
very
different
kind
of
script.
It
transitions
from
our
days
in
college
to
much
later
and
sees
us
as
grownups.
There
are
episodes
of
a
flashback,
so
we
will
have
variations
in
the
way
we
look
too,
most
likely
to
suit
the
different
time
frames.
We
are
yet
to
decide
on
that.
We
hope
to
start
once
they
give
permission
to
shoot
again
and
I
get
done
with
my
pending
projects."
Director
Deepak
Gangadhar,
too,
has
shared
that
the
story
will
oscillate
between
two
timelines
—
the
present
and
a
flashback
against
a
college
backdrop
placed
in
2015.
He
told
TNIE,
“We
are
ready
with
the
script
and
will
roll
out
the
project
as
soon
as
the
government
unlocks
the
city,
and
we
are
given
permission
to
shoot.
We
are
also
scouting
for
the
second
lead
heroine
for
which
we
are
scouting
a
fresh
face.
The
film
will
have
Sridhar
V
Sambhram
scoring
the
music,
while
the
rest
of
the
technicians
are
yet
to
come
on
board.”
Love
Me
Or
Hate
Me
is
being
jointly
produced
by
Madan
Gangadhar
and
Nandish
and
will
be
bringing
together
Krishna
and
Rachita
for
the
first
time
on
the
silver
screen.
