Love is among those rare things that doesn���������t come with an expiry date. A few weeks ahead of Valentine���������s Day, Koel and Jeet are all geared up to give the audience a lesson in lovology through their film, ���������100% Love���������, which is directed by Ravi Kinagi, produced by Shree Venkatesh Films and releasing today. But lip-syncing to romantic songs and delivering emotionally charged dialogues apart, how much do our celebs believe in the idea of love? Or do they feel it���������s lust which governs people in recent times?
For Koel, the world exists because of love.
She says, ���������I am all for true love. I believe that love makes the world go round. But then it has to be unconditional and requires 100 per cent commitment from both sides. I won���������t say that lust doesn���������t exist but then, it is a temporary feeling.��������� She explains what the protagonists in the film feel for each other is nothing short of 100 per cent love. ���������There���������s hardly any romantic dialogue in the movie, the expression of love comes through the characters��������� gestures. It���������s a very mature love story. Personally, I believe in giving my 100 per cent to every relationship in my life, be that with my friends, family or close ones,��������� she adds.
Jeet, on his part, says, ���������It can never be ���������I love you a little��������� or ���������I love you a lot���������. Love has to be 100 per cent or it just isn���������t love. And by love, I mean the feeling that comes for not just your partner or lover or spouse, but also for your friends, family, near and dear ones.��������� The actor says he can���������t equate love with lust. ���������Love has so many beautiful shades and colours like adjustment, commitment, sacrifice, etc, that lust, which mainly stems from looks, is devoid of. While I may not be able to highlight any one instance of 100 per cent love that I may have felt in life (because there are so many), I must say the varied flavours that love has to offer are much more enticing than lust.���������
Director Ravi Kinagi, however, seems only too happy to reveal who his 100 per cent love was. ���������It���������s my wife, Anuradha, without an iota of doubt!��������� he says, adding, ���������I love my wife too much. The way she supports me and my family��������� She is my biggest encouragement. Love for me also stands for inspiration and my wife is my biggest inspiration. About lust, I don���������t believe in it. Love is very pure and I strongly feel, if someone is lusting after a person, then love���������s labour is lost.���������
Significantly, Anuradha is also Koel���������s name in the film. Ask the director if it was a planned move to have that name for the female protagonist as a token of his 100 per cent love and he says, ���������No, it���������s just a coincidence. It wasn���������t planned.���������
