In a world of grand romantic gestures and sweeping declarations of love,
Aap Jaisa Koi
offers something quieter—yet far more real. The upcoming
Netflix romantic drama
, starring
R Madhavan
and
Fatima Sana Shaikh
, dives deep into the heart of relationships where love isn't always about sparks flying, but about understanding, compromise, and equality. Set to premiere on July 11, the film promises a slow-burn love story that challenges conventional ideas of compatibility and connection.
Plot of Madhavan's Aap Jaisa Koi
Aap Jaisa Koi follows the story of
Srirenu
, a soft-spoken and traditional Sanskrit teacher, and
Madhu
, a spirited and independent French instructor. Their worlds couldn't be more different—but that's exactly where the story begins. As they navigate their budding romance, they are met with societal expectations and family resistance. But instead of relying on the usual romantic tropes, the film chooses to explore how two very different people can build a relationship based on mutual respect and shared emotional space.

The film asks a central question: What does true compatibility look like when people come from completely different backgrounds? It's not just about liking the same movies or having the same taste in food—it's about seeing eye-to-eye on values like respect, independence, and emotional equality.
Aap Jaisa Koi Trailer
Directed by Vivek Soni, Aap Jaisa Koi is not your typical
Bollywood love story
. The trailer hints at gentle moments, thoughtful silences, and a quiet chemistry that slowly builds over time. The idea of 'barabari wala pyaar'—love rooted in equality—sits at the core of the narrative. It reflects the emotional journey of people learning to meet each other halfway, even when their views of life, love, and family don't always match.
Madhavan brings his signature charm to the role of Srirenu, capturing the inner conflict of a man caught between tradition and personal desire. Fatima Sana Shaikh, on the other hand, plays Madhu with ease and spark, embodying a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to say it out loud.
Produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra under the
Dharma Productions
banner, the film is penned by Radhika Anand and Jehan Handa. Alongside Madhavan and Fatima, the film features performances by Sachin Kavetham and Manish Chaudhari, adding more emotional texture to the story.
