MUMBAI: Producer Chandra Pemmaraju is gearing up to release Love Lies And Seeta under the banner of Movie Depot on 18 May.

This Indo–American independent film is about falling for a girl who doesn’t believe in love and interweaving friendships that cross-traditional borders of ethnicity. The movie follows the lives of the male leads – Rahul, Tom, and Bhavuk, who have all independently met the beautiful Seeta at different stages in their lives.

As the friendship amongst the three men grow, a chance encounter with Seeta makes them realise they all have fallen in love with the same woman. They reach out to their friends outside the group to cope with falling in love with Seeta. The love triangle envelops the characters and their friends. The city backdrop depicts a New York summer and makes its urban-natural beauty an important supporting character.

“The idea was simple to make the first of its kind fun, young urban romantic comedy in an extremely low budget yet with international standards. The movie took a year and half to make. I enjoyed the process of writing the story as well as making the movie, and I hope the Indian audience will like the movie as much as I liked making it,” said Premraju in a statement.

Shot in 50 plus different locations in just 28 days, using the revolutionary red camera, the film has been shot completely in Manhattan and Brooklyn NY with an ensemble cast of Indian and American actors. The film aims to appeal to the hipster generation of moviegoers as well as all the audience who love cinema.

Chandra Pemmaraju is a film writer, producer and director of Indian origin based out of New York. The film is to be distributed by Cinemax Motion Pictures in India.
