Making a film based on a true story, whilst applying your own perspective to it is not an easy task. But maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who has mastered in this aspect over the years, has gained expertise in doing so. His newly-released crime thriller NOT A LOVE STORY is based on the infamous love story of Maria Susairaj and Emile Jerome Mathew where the two have been accused to have done away with Neeraj Grover, in a rather brutal manner. This bit of news itself is easy fodder for filmmakers of RGV's ilk. There's a struggling actress, a boyfriend in the Navy and a Television executive. The casting couch is no news to RGV. Being in the industry, he would be the first to know how it functions, if it does at all! To give it a realistic look, Ramu has used the same building, where the heinous crime took place. NOT A LOVE STORY is a story of an aspiring actress, Anusha Chawla (Mahie Gill) who is seeking to make it big in bollywood. But little does she know that fate has something else in store for her. After convincing her boyfriend, Robin (Deepak Dobriyal), of her intentions to work in films, Anusha shifts to the city of dreams. However, life is not what she had perceived it to be. From rejections to the casting couch, she witnesses everything. She manages to get a role in a Bollywood film through a casting director Ashish Bhatnagar (Ajay Gehi), who apparently falls in love with her. One day, Anusha's possessive lover Robin, decides to give Anusha a surprise. But boy, is he in for a surprise! He walks in to discover his girlfriend and Ashish in a comprising position. Filled with rage, Robin stabs Ashish to death. A baffled Anusha pretends she has been raped. The confused couple then disposes off the body in the cruelest manner. What follows next is the consequence of this atrocious murder.
