With Dhanush-led Tere Ishq Mein set to roll by year-end, director Rai says film will explore conflicting ideas of love, particularly youth’s self-centred approach to it

It`s not the audience alone that is missing seeing romance on the big screen. Filmmaker Aanand L Rai shares the sentiment. "I can`t survive without making romantic films," he remarks. No wonder then he is gearing up to helm another love story, Tere Ishq Mein. "The project will go on floors by the year-end. We are in the final stage of writing and that will go on till the last minute," he smiles.
Tere Ishq Mein is the director`s third collaboration with Dhanush after Raanjhanaa (2013) and Atrangi Re (2021). Kriti Sanon is tipped to be the leading lady (Kriti to team up with Dhanush, August 9). While the project was announced last year, Rai took considerable time to flesh out the story that presents two contrasting ideas of love. "The two protagonists will have two definitions of love and there will be a conflict because of it. It is stemmed in how today`s generation holds their emotions back. My generation has one definition of love, and today`s generation has another. From this conflict will arise rage," he says.
