I Hate Luv Storys ( Director's Note)

I Hate Luv Storys is a story of a boy who doesn’t believe in love and a girl who only believes in love. No matter how simple this sounds, the world that this love story is set in is something that’s been part of me and something I’ve been part of...

It’s taken us just under a year to complete this film. The reason I say ‘us’ is because no matter how much I would like to believe that this film has been made by me alone… its far from the truth.

I Hate Luv Storys is the combined effort of a lot of people… it’s a very young crew that came together and worked selflessly and positively to achieve one common goal.

As a first time filmmaker I couldn’t have asked for a better producer than Karan and a better crew…  Bose and Amrita set the look for me, Vishal & Shekhar gave me splendid music, Apoorva, Marijke, Akiv Ali, Bosco, Niranjan, Namrata, Ayesha, Gopika, Shanoo, Shivani , Siddharth, Parth, my super AD team - Pierre, Rohit, Shamin, Evan, Ayush and Adeeb… and the rest of the crew… and anyone else who I might have missed…..all of who worked day and night to make my dream come true.

A special mention to Imran and Sonam for making Jay and Simran breathe (cos there could never be a cooler Jay or sweeter Simran) and also the rest of my supporting cast for believing in me, trusting me and giving all the characters life…

And apart from my filmy family, Mom & Dad, Riddhi, the rest of my family (before am kicked at home), my friends… and most of all Manish for being there at every step.

Thank you guys… this film wouldn’t have been so special without any of you.

It’s been a year of absolute fun, joy, party and excitement and on the brink of this films release I can only hope that this infectious energy and vibe can reach you guys as well.

Sorry for boring you with this long note, thanks a ton.

Love,
Punit.
