Krishna Ajai Rao and Rachita Ram in Love You Rachchu

Today, the team of the upcoming Kannada film, Love You Rachchu, released the title track. Sung by singer-composer Naveen Sajju, with lyrics by lyricist-filmmaker Chetan Kumar, the Kadri Manikanth composed song is an exploration of all things that audiences have come to love of leading lady Rachita Ram, especially her dimpled smile. The team, we hear, is hopeful that the song will become the anthem for fans of the actress, who has been called Kannada cinema’s Dimple Queen.

Watch the song here:

Love You Rachchu is the directorial debut of Shankar Raj, based on a story by Krishnan Love Story fame filmmaker Shashank. It is also the latest production venture for director Guru Deshpande. The official synopsis of the film describes it as a love story about a couple, who encounter something bad. Whether they can overcome these obstacles forms the crux of the story. The film has Rachita Ram romancing Krishna Ajai Rao, a first-time pairing for the two actors. The actress has always maintained that the film was special to her because the title has a direct reference to her, given that Rachchu is her nickname as well.

The title track is the third song from the film that has been released, after Nodutha Nannane and Muddu Neenu. In fact, the song Muddu Neenu, which has Sid Sriram’s vocals, became a hot topic of discussion given that there were ‘intimate’ scenes between the lead pair. The song had apparently been choreographed by Ajai and when questioned, Rachita said that she did not find anything objectionable in it, although she wasn’t pleased that a mountain was being made out of a molehill. “Yes, I had said I will not do bold scenes, but if I have done it again, that should tell you that there is some meaning to it, as far as the narrative goes. For instance, what do people do after they get married, specifically on their first night together? Most of you present here are married. I am sorry to say this and this is not an attempt to embarrass anyone. But there’s romance, right? That’s all we’ve done in this song as well. We have not done it explicitly; it’s very basic. That’s all there is to it,” said Rachita at the launch of Muddu Neenu. When prodded further, she added, “See, if I have done something that I had previously said I wouldn’t anymore, there’s a reason to it, which audiences will understand when they see the film.”
