R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh’s romantic drama Aap Jaisa Koi to redefine the norms of love

Old-school charm crashes headfirst into modern love when a buttoned-up older man falls for a feisty young woman — and nothing goes quite as planned! Netflix’s Aap Jaisa Koi is set to premiere on July 11, bringing audiences a heartwarming family drama that celebrates connection, companionship, and the beauty of discovering ‘barabari wala pyaar’ (equal love) in the most unexpected circumstances.

Aap Jaisa Koi is all about exploring love at unexpected junctures

Starring R. Madhavan as Shrirenu, a reserved Sanskrit teacher, and Fatima Sana Shaikh as Madhu, a spirited French instructor, Aap Jaisa Koi brings together two opposites in a story that’s as much about family and belonging as it is about romance. Marking Madhavan’s return to the genre he is loved for romance, the film offers a fresh, grown-up take on relationships — blending humor, vulnerability, and warmth against a layered backdrop of family ties and personal rediscovery.

Director Vivek Soni shares , “Aap Jaisa Koi is a film about breaking free from the walls we build around ourselves. It's about embracing the awkwardness and vulnerability of love. Working with Netflix again after Meenakshi Sundareshwar has been a fulfilling experience, and I’m excited to present a love story that’s tender, messy, and intimate, one that embraces vulnerability without losing its charm and breeziness. It quietly questions the roles we fall into in relationships and reflects the quiet courage it takes to truly let someone in. With R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh bringing so much heart to their roles, the film reflects the authenticity that viewers truly connect with. It’s a modern romance that speaks to the need for real connections in today’s world.”

So, whether you speak fluent Sanskrit, perfect French, the language of love, or are simply a fan of a heartfelt family drama — Aap Jaisa Koi is here to charm its way into your heart. Get ready to swipe right on this one-of-a-kind romance, because when opposites attract, Aap Jaisa Koi happens!
