Mumbai, June 18: R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh are set to light up screens with their upcoming romantic-comedy Aap Jaisa Koi, which will premiere exclusively on Netflix on July 11. The film, which has been generating buzz ever since its first look was unveiled a few months ago, promises a heartfelt and refreshing take on modern relationships.
In Aap Jaisa Koi, Madhavan plays Shrirenu, a reserved Sanskrit teacher, while Fatima steps into the role of Madhu, a vibrant and free-spirited French instructor. The film explores the sparks that fly when two opposites cross paths, offering a warm and humorous story about love, family, and self-discovery.
Directed by Vivek Soni, the film marks Madhavan’s return to the romantic genre that made him a household favorite. Soni, who previously collaborated with Netflix on Meenakshi Sundareshwar, describes Aap Jaisa Koi as a modern romance rooted in emotional honesty and vulnerability.
“This film is about breaking down the emotional walls we build around ourselves,” says Soni. “It embraces the awkwardness, charm, and messiness of love. With Madhavan and Fatima bringing so much heart and authenticity to their characters, the story becomes a reflection of today’s need for real, meaningful connections.”
With its blend of romance, humor, and emotional depth, Aap Jaisa Koi is poised to resonate with audiences seeking a love story that feels both contemporary and genuine.
