Prem shoots at an ‘extraordinary location’ in Ooty

Filmmaker Prem has just finished shooting an extensive schedule in

Ooty

with the team of his upcoming movie, Ek Love Ya, which features newbies Raanna and Reeshma Nanaiah in the lead. Apart from some song sequences, the team also filmed a few talkie portions at a place that Prem describes as an ‘extraordinary location’.
“We shot atop a hill that overlooks a

hamlet

named, Avalanchi. The beauty of this hamlet lies in the fact that the houses there are built at points where the rays fall directly on them during sunrise every morning. Meanwhile, the rest of the area is almost always covered by fog until way past noon. Also, almost 60% of the 50-odd homes in the hamlet are owned by Kannadigas,” says Prem, adding, “My cinematographer, Mahen Simha, and I were completely smitten by these scenic parts of Ooty.”
The team will now be travelling to Gujarat to shoot more songs sequences, says the filmmaker. The movie also features Rachita Ram in a pivotal role, while Rakshitha has made a comeback of sorts in a cameo for a song with her brother Raanna and Rachita.
