"The story unfolds on campus where Vinayachandran (Kunchacko Boban) aka Dr Love advises the youngsters who are desperately in love. Ebin (played by Bhavana) is a student and quite a tomboy. Gauri (Ananya) is an insurance agent," says the director, who has written

the script as well.

Kunchacko Boban says that his character in the film is that of a "hardcore romantic who is, of course, involved in a love affair as well." He is happy with the way his career has been progressing, particularly the success of Seniors, he says.

Bhavana, who plays one of the two female leads, says, "In Dr Love, I am quite a bold girl and a gang leader. It is fun being part of this one."

Bhavana is also excited about being part of the Mohanlal-Priyadarsan film Arabiyum Ottakavum P Madhavan Nairum which is currently on a schedule break.
