Nan Love Track is a romantic genre movie based on the bond of friendship. Rakku and ‘Vasishta N Simha’ are the two main leads. They are childhood friends and it is their bond that is highlighted. The film also cast actress ‘Nidhi Kushalappa’. To portray him as realistic as possible, Kathir advised him to stay out of shape. So Rakku was not supposed to work on his body and shape. He was to enact an aimless youth. This was hence a natural character. The movie however effectively indicates how friendship dominates love. The songs were also loved by the audience.
The film is shot in the locales of Bengaluru-MG road and brigade road. This is USP of Kathir’s movies. Rakshit was in the limelight when he left no stone unturned in promoting his new venture.

He considers it as his privilege to work with a director who believes in perfection and discipline.
