Luv You Shankar poster: Shreyas Talpade, Mann Gandhi meet Lord Shiva

The poster of Rajiv S Ruia’s Luv You Shankar (2021), released on the holiday of Mahashivratri on Thursday, features actor Shreyas Talpade and young child artiste Mann Gandhi.

Talpade unveiled the poster yesterday on social media. The film, which was shot during the lockdown, is set in the holy city of Banaras.

The film follows an eight-year-old boy Shivansh (Gandhi) who explores his past life along with his parents. Tanishaa Mukerji, Abhimanyu Singh and Sanjay Mishra are also part of the cast.

Ruia, who earlier made My Friend Ganesha (2007), stated that the film had been made with a lot of heart. In a statement, he said, “I always wanted to make a film on reincarnation. We extensively shot in parts of Banaras. In fact, it was the second film to be shot in Banaras after the lockdown. We are happy with the way the film has turned out and we cannot wait to share it with the audience.”

Talpade added, “The film is really special to me and is based on reincarnation. More importantly it’s been a while where a film that caters to kids has released and I am sure not only them but all age groups will have a blast.”

Luv You Shankar’s screenplay has been written by Ram Patil and Priyank Mehta, with Sanjay Masoomm providing the dialogues. The film is being produced by Sunita Desai, and associate producer Vardan Singh has composed the music.

The film’s release date has not yet been announced.
