"I Love You" was a much expected movie of Kannada super star, Upendra that got released on the 14th of June. Though the movie has made a huge collection at the Box Office, it has failed to satisfy the critics. Upendra, apart from his upcoming movies, Home Minister and Ravichandra, would also be starring in a yet to be titled movie, produced and directed by Shashank, according to the reports doing rounds on the internet. It has also been mentioned in the same that the Paddehuli actor, Nishvika Naidu has been approached to play the heroine and that the makers feel that she might fit into role, perfectly.
Nishvika Naidu is currently busy filming for Gentleman opposite Prajwal Devaraj, directed by Jadesh Kumar Hampe. However, Shashank's movie is reported to be a quirky one and the filming is said to be commencing in the month of September.
Director Shashank has earlier won Kannada State Film awards for the movie, Krishna Leela in the categories, Best Screenplay and Best Family Entertainer. He also has written lyrics and won the Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist, in the 2008 Kannada movie, Moggina Manasu, for the song "Moggina Manasali".
