Mumbai, June 25 (NationPress) The creators of the eagerly awaited romantic film, Aap Jaisa Koi, featuring R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh, have unveiled a captivating trailer for this romantic venture.
Directed by Vivek Soni, known for his work on 'Meenakshi Sundareshwar', the film boasts a talented cast including Ayesha Raza, Manish Chaudhari, and Namit Das in significant roles.
In Aap Jaisa Koi, R Madhavan portrays the character of Shrirenu Tripathi, while Fatima Sana Shaikh plays Madhu Bose. The narrative revolves around the journey of discovering love, or ‘Barabari Wala Pyaar’, at unexpected moments.
Discussing his character, Madhavan expressed, “Aap Jaisa Koi is distinct from any love story I've previously undertaken — it’s subtle, awkward, and profoundly human. Shrirenu is one of the most intricate characters I've portrayed — someone who yearns for connection and intimacy but struggles to articulate it, yet he is rich in emotions. This film is not loud or dramatic — it’s patient, gentle, and deeply resonant. I was attracted to how it resonates with those who feel overlooked in matters of life or love. Aap Jaisa Koi serves as a reminder that it's never too late to embrace life on your own terms. It’s a narrative about vulnerability, rediscovery, and the belief that it's never too late to open one’s heart.”
Fatima Sana Shaikh shared, “I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of Aap Jaisa Koi. I've always admired Madhavan, and sharing the screen with him has been a wonderful experience. Portraying Madhu was particularly significant. Often, we associate strength and confidence with masculinity, but Madhu exemplifies these traits with grace and femininity. This film allowed me to explore various dimensions of love, and surprisingly, it felt somewhat therapeutic. Collaborating with Vivek was delightful… he possesses a unique perspective as a filmmaker, and being part of his beautiful narrative was a joy. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to work with Netflix and Dharmatic Entertainment, alongside Vivek and Maddy, on such an authentic and heartfelt story.”
Aap Jaisa Koi will premiere on Netflix starting July 11.
