Actors R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh are excited about their upcoming film, Aap Jaisa Koi, where they delve into a romantic narrative that resonates with real-life relationship dynamics.
In this film, Madhavan portrays Shrirenu, a reserved Sanskrit teacher, while Fatima plays Madhu, an energetic French instructor. Their contrasting personalities create a compelling story that intertwines themes of family, belonging, and romance.
Directed by Vivek Soni, Madhavan emphasized that Aap Jaisa Koi tackles the theme of loneliness.
Fatima, recognized for her performances in Ludo, Ajeeb Daastaans, and Modern Love Mumbai, expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating, “The script is incredibly beautiful. The trailer showcases a poignant emotion between a boy and a girl, highlighting their love and the challenges they face. Plus, I was thrilled to work with Maddy for the first time, and I didn’t want to pass up that opportunity.” She further noted, “The film effectively captures the emotional intricacies and conflicts that arise between men and women.” Madhavan added what he appreciated most about the film, saying, “What stands out in this story is that it features age-appropriate roles. I’m not portraying a youthful hero; instead, I’m a 40-year-old man experiencing love for the first time. We are discovering new ways to express love in today’s world…”
