'Aap Jaisa Koi', Netflix's romantic drama with R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh, gets premiere date

We had earlier reported that Netflix is gearing up for the streaming premiere of Aap Jaisa Koi, a romantic drama featuring R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Sheikh. The streamer has announced that the film will arrive on July 11.

 

The film, which has Madhavan playing a quiet and introverted Sanskrit teacher and Fatima as a spunky French instructor, comes from director Vivek Soni, known for Meenakshi Sundareshwar (also on Netflix) and Chaar Cutting.

In an official statement, Soni said he is elated to be coming out with 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 Netflix viewers truly connect with.”

 

He added that the film is about "embracing the awkwardness and vulnerability of love.” 

 

Aap Jaisa Koi is produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra under the banner of Karan Johar's Dharmatic Entertainment. The company said in a statement that Aap Jaisa Koi "explores what modern relationships look like when people begin to confront their conditioning and redefine what equality and intimacy truly mean” and that's they're proud to present a film that’s "honest, heartfelt, and deeply human." 

 

Earlier this year, R Madhavan starred in another direct-to-Netflix feature, Test, a sports drama which co-starred Nayanthara, Siddharth, Meera Jasmine and Nassar. The film was met with largely negative reviews.
