Love Hostel traces the volatile journey of a spirited young couple (Sanya Malhotra and Vikrant Massey) being hunted by a ruthless mercenary (Bobby Deol), with the star-crossed lovers take on the entire world in search of their fairy-tale ending. Set against the pulsating backdrop of rustic North India, Love Hostel is tale of hope and survival in a world where power, money, principles lead to mayhem and bloodshed.

Discussing the casting process, Director Shanker Raman said, "Sanya (Sanya Malhotra) and Vikrant (Vikrant Massey) were an easy choice. Their body of work speaks volumes. More importantly, they loved the script. It is always a pleasure to work with actors who love the written word. They were so easy to be with. Open, participative, and passionate about raising the bar.”

The surprise, then, was Bobby Deol. “It was Gaurav Verma from Red Chillies who suggested that we could narrate the script to Bobby," Shanker recalled. “I feel that was one of the best things to have happened. Bobby gave us great feedback, but he wasn’t sure if he wanted to do it. We went back and wrote another draft, and it was only then that he said, 'Yes.'”

The suggestions helped elevate the emotional quotient of the film. “He prepared for the role by absolutely surrendering to the process. For a director, that is gold. Bobby brought credibility to the role with total commitment,” Shankar concluded.

Love Hostel premiere on ZEE5 on 25th February.
