Prema Oka Maikam has been described as "a film for men, especially for those men who enjoy being drowsy and drowned into love, lust or wine" and Chandu commented that Charmy "has given soul to the character and will win all the hearts".[5][6]

Synopsis

The film follows Mallika (Charmy Kaur) an intelligent and independent young woman that works as a call girl but refuses to take just any man that comes along. When poet Lalith (Rahul) and Mallika have a chance meeting, the two connect instantly. Swathi (Saranya Nag) is a singer that gained her popularity after appearing on a television talent show, but ends up getting drawn into a love triangle between Mallika and Lalith.

Cast

Production

Development on Prema Oka Maikam began in 2012 and Charmi Kaur was announced to perform one of the lead roles.[7] Chandu denied claims that Kaur was hired to "boost the movie's glamour quotient" and stated that they chose her because they believed that she could perform the role and that "we felt she was apt, but not because to add glamor".[7] Footage for Prema Oka Maikam was shot in Bangalore and Hyderabad and the film went into post production in early 2013.[7] The film initially had a projected release date of February 2013, but was pushed back to an August release.[7][8]

The film's music was written by MGK Praveen who composed 3 songs for “Prema Oka Maikam” and the other 3 songs were composed by SR Posam .[9]
