'Love Exchange' blends two distinct cultures: Director

Director Raj V. Shetty says his romantic venture, 'Love Exchange' beautifully blends two diverse cultures in an entertaining, lively and convincing manner while capturing the essence of romance at the same time.

"'Love Exchange' brings two different cultures to mix together in a light-hearted way. In the film, the lovers are asked to learn each other's culture so that they can have a better life post marriage. And that's why I think people from every culture will love the movie," Shetty said.

The main protagonists played by Mohit Madan and Jyoti Sharma belong to Maharashtrian and Punjabi families respectively.

Adapting to one another's cultures is not an easy task, hence the families decide that both of them would spend three months at their would-be in-laws' homes separately to get familiar with the opposite cultures, the director said.

About the fresh pair of actors, Shetty said: "After finishing my script, I realised that it requires fresh faces and I then zeroed down the hero and heroine. Both Mohit and Jyoti have good camera sense and the chemistry between them is apt."

'Love Exchange' produced by Nadia Ali Shirazi, under the banner Winds of Change Entertainment, releases on October 30.
