Young actor Rachana Inder has had an interesting career so far in which she has explored diverse roles within a short span of time. Having shot to fame as the vivacious Aditi in the 2020 romantic comedy Love Mocktail Rachana flaunted a different side of her comedic style in the very recent Harikathe Alla Girikathe.

Unfazed by the presence of senior actors such as Rishab Shetty, Pramod Shetty, and Honnavalli Krishna in the film, she put a strong foot forward and charmed everyone with an assured performance. The pre-interval lengthy dialogue sequence, in particular, has impressed the audiences unanimously.

Now, in the same vein, comes a bona fide love story in the form of Love 360. The Shashank directorial sees Rachana Inder dabble with a whole new range of emotions and tonality as an actor and the trailer of the film does suggest strongly that she has had to put in a lot of effort to justify the demand. In a recent online interview, the actress revealed that she plays a character with mental disabilities in Love 360 and had to work extensively to find the right pitch.

“I was drawn to the character because it’s an unconventional one – someone who is innocent, simple, and conveys most things through expressions and not words. She also suffers from slight mental disability issues but the world around her sees her differently so the support of her man (played by debutant Praveen) becomes everything to her. The title essentially refers to the unconditional love that these two people have for one another and how their relationship ebbs and flows intensely in the narrative,” shares Rachana Inder.

In the same interview, Rachana added that she underwent acting workshops to get closer to her character in the film and also watched films like Barfi and Sadma as part of her prep.

Interestingly, director Shashank has sought inspiration from the South African cricketer AB de Villiers for his film's title. In a recent interview, the Moggina Manasu director revealed that the title 'Love 360' came to him when he was watching De Villiers bat on the television and someone referred to him as 'Mr. 360'! Shashank deemed '360' as the perfect encapsulation of the film's emotional crux as the hero of the film showers unconditional love on his girl.

Love 360 will be releasing in theatres on August 19. The film also stars debutant Praveen, Gopalkrishna Deshpande, Kavya Shasthri, and others with Arjun Janya scoring the music. The song Jagave Neenu, sung by Sid Sriram, has become a major hit on the internet.
