The creation process was a joint effort by German theatre director Verena and Bangalore actors
Raghu Dayear, Ajay Sharma and
Vishal Patil. During the first weeks of their collaboration, the four used intensive talks focusing on the different cultural contexts to get inspiration for the topic and the script.
The outcome -
My Name Is I Love You - offers an insight into the obstacles three young men have to deal in their pursuit of love:
Sometimes in life it’s hard to choose: you have to choose between waking up and hitting the snooze; between tradition, culture and a modern way to live.

For the three actors Raghu Dayear, Ajay Sharma, Vishal Patil, love is the answer.
The whole Indian culture runs on 50/50. So it depends. We are talking in general. They don't want to argue. They want to get lucky. Love is the answer – love to themselves and love to their family. But what’s in their heads, is not in the heads of the three young men. It's a man's world, but it would be nothing without a woman or a girl. What is the answer?
