Get ready for a fresh and heartwarming romantic comedy as R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh’s much-anticipated film, ‘Aap Jaisa Koi,’ is officially set to premiere on Netflix on July 11, 2025. The announcement, made today, June 17, 2025, has sent a wave of excitement through fans eagerly awaiting this unique love story.
Directed by Vivek Soni, known for his work on ‘Meenakshi Sundareshwar,’ ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ promises a blend of humor, emotional depth, and a refreshing take on modern relationships. The film is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharmatic Entertainment, adding another layer of anticipation given their track record of delivering engaging cinematic experiences.
The movie stars R Madhavan as Shrirenu, a reserved Sanskrit teacher, and Fatima Sana Shaikh as Madhu, a spirited French instructor. This intriguing pairing of contrasting personalities forms the core of the narrative, which delves into themes of love, family, belonging, and the journey of emotional rediscovery. Madhavan’s return to the romantic genre, for which he is widely adored, is a particular highlight, with fans looking forward to his signature charm and nuanced performance.
The first look of the film, released a few months ago, had already piqued curiosity, showcasing a gentle and affectionate pose between the lead actors. The newly confirmed release date has amplified this excitement, with many netizens expressing their eagerness to see the chemistry between Madhavan and Shaikh unfold on screen.
Director Vivek Soni shared his vision for the film, stating that ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ is about “breaking free from the walls we build around ourselves” and “embracing the awkwardness and vulnerability of love.” He further emphasized that the film is a “tender, messy, and intimate” love story that questions the traditional roles in relationships and highlights the courage it takes to truly let someone in. This sentiment resonates with the idea of ‘barabari wala pyaar’ (an equal kind of love), which the film is set to explore.
As Netflix continues to expand its diverse content slate, ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ appears to be a promising addition, offering a relatable and heartfelt narrative that speaks to the need for genuine connections in today’s world. Mark your calendars for July 11 to witness R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh embark on this charming cinematic journey, exclusively on Netflix.
