Satya (Shivrajkumar) falls in love with Veda (Genelia) when he chances upon her nursing a stranger that was seized by an epileptic attack in a public place. Veda vanishes into the crowd and Satya goes in search of her. He comes to know that she lives in Kurnool with her father Ranga Reddy, a terror in the region. Satya goes to Reddy's house but is beaten by henchmen. Veda is surprised to see Satya as she has never seen him before.
Raghav Loki met and briefed him a story written by him which had impressed Ramesh. “I think Shivaraj Kumar would be the best choice for the hero’s role in the film. If Shivaraj Kumar agrees to the main role, then I would produce the film." Ramesh assured Loki. Loki got the approval of Shivaraj Kumar and “Sathya In Love’ became a reality.
To make Sathya in Love a memorable film, Ramesh provided all the necessary support to Raghava Loki.
Satya In Love is the first Kannada film to employ 4K digital intermediate technology.[2]
