R. Madhavan, Fatima Sana Shaikh's romantic-drama ‘Aap Jaisa Koi' to stream from July 11

Mumbai: Actors R.Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh's upcoming romantic family drama titled 'Aap Jaisa Koi' is all set to stream from July 11 on Netflix.
Director Vivek Soni shared; 'Aap Jaisa Koi is a film about breaking free from the walls we build around ourselves. It's about embracing the awkwardness and vulnerability of love.'
The film celebrates connection, companionship, and the beauty of discovering 'barabari wala pyaar' in the most unexpected circumstances. It stars Madhavan as Shrirenu, a reserved Sanskrit teacher, and Fatima as Madhu, a spirited French instructor. The film brings together two opposites in a story that's as much about family and belonging as it is about romance.
Soni added that working with Netflix again after 'Meenakshi Sundareshwar' has been a fulfilling experience.
'I'm excited to present 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.'
The director concluded by saying the film is a 'modern romance that speaks to the need for real connections in today's world.'
Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, Director of Original Films, Netflix India, said that Aap Jaisa Koi is a romance drama about love that sprouts amidst fallen hopes and gated traditions.
'With Vivek Soni's captivating visuals, it boasts beautiful performances by R. Madhavan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ayesha Raza, along with a stellar ensemble. The film attends to the complexities of love with tender strokes.'
Sheikh added: 'Dharmatic Entertainment, the masters of romance on film, have told this classic tale in a contemporary fashion. It is part of a strong slate of films we're bringing to Netflix this year, each with a unique voice and perspective.'
Producers at Dharmatic Entertainment add, 'At Dharma, we've always believed in the magic of love—but love that evolves, that questions, that unlearns. Aap Jaisa Koi explores what modern relationships look like when people begin to confront their conditioning and redefine what equality and intimacy truly mean.'
'With Madhavan and Fatima bringing warmth and honesty to these characters, and in partnership with Netflix, we're proud to present a film that's honest, heartfelt, and deeply human. It's a story that speaks to a new generation — about love that grows up, not just glows up.'
Produced by Dharmatic Entertainment's Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra, the film will start streaming from July 11 on Netflix.

Actor R Madhavan and his wife Sarita have rented out their luxury flat in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) for Rs 6.5 lakh a month. The flat is located in Signia Pearl and was bought by the couple in July 2024 for Rs 17.5 crore. The apartment is quite spacious, measuring 388.55 square metres which is around 4,182 square feet. According to documents accessed via the rental agreement was registered in June 2025. The lease is for 24 months, with a lock-in period of 16 months. In the second year, the rent will go up by 5 per cent, which means the tenant will pay Rs 6.83 lakh per month. Over the full two-year term, the total rent will be around Rs 1.6 crore. The deal also includes a security deposit of Rs 39 lakh. A stamp duty of Rs 47,000 and a registration fee of Rs 1,000 were paid to register the agreement. Based on the rent, the apartment is giving the couple a gross rental yield of about 4.5 per cent in the first year, and 4.7 per cent in the second. Meanwhile, on the film front, Madhavan has a cameo in Maa, starring Kajol. He will also be seen in the romantic drama Aap Jaisa Koi with Fatima Sana Shaikh, which will release on Netflix in July 2025. It tells the story of two very different characters, Shrirenu Tripathi and Madhu Bose. According to reports, he will also be seen in SS Rajamouli's upcoming film SSMB29. Madhavan is said to be playing a strong, important role in this Rs 1,000 crore epic. Notably, the makers haven't officially confirmed it yet. SSMB29 also features Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran. This will be the first time Madhavan is teaming up with SS Rajamouli, the director behind hits like Baahubali and RRR. SSMB29 stars Priyanka Chopra and Mahesh Babu in the lead.

Actor-martial artist Vidyut Jammwal: Yoga university ran tests on me…

Actor and fitness icon Vidyut Jammwal, widely known for his mastery of Kalaripayattu, credits yoga for bringing true balance into his life. On International Day of Yoga today, the action star shares, 'Yes, I'm a martial artist trained in Kalaripayattu. To truly master it, you need to go on a journey of self-realisation — and that's where yoga comes in. It teaches the art of balancing both body and mind.' Vidyut Jammwal showcasing body balancing in variation of Virabhadrasana and Ardh Chandrasana combination and advanced modification of malasana.(Photo: Instagram) Exploring the deeper dimensions of yogic science, Vidyut adds, 'As a fighter, it's crucial to know when not to fight — when to stay calm. Yoga gives you that balance. Many people today have strong bodies, but still battle depression. That's because yoga hasn't touched their lives. It's only through yoga that you achieve union of the body and mind. Breath control, happiness, calmness... it all begins there.' Over the years, his connection with yoga has deepened. A turning point, he says, was meeting Padma Shri Dr HR Nagendra, the 82-year-old yoga guru to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 'At his yoga university (Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana, Bengaluru), they ran tests on me on how I can control my heart rates and more. My entire perspective on ancient scriptures changed after deep discussions with him. My understanding of yoga evolved,' he continues, 'I've always had a passion to push my limits. After the university tests, I realised I've been able to do that, sit in snow for hours, endure extremes, because I can control my breath. Sab saanson ka khel hai! A guru can guide you, but true realisation comes from within.' Drawing a powerful analogy, Vidyut likens yoga to the very foundation of movement and discipline. Kalaripayattu is like a word; yoga is the alphabet, he explains, noting, 'In sports like cricket or tennis, mastering one leg or hand can make you a champion. But only yoga gives you complete balance — something even the common yoga protocol can help achieve.' As someone who travels the world representing martial arts, Vidyut shares that international audiences always associate India with yoga: 'Woh mujhse sabse zyada yoga ki baat karte hain! They assume every Indian practises it, which, unfortunately, is not true.' For the past year, Vidyut Jammwal has been researching the shankh and spreading awareness about its benefits Encouraging newcomers to take the first step, he adds, 'Recently, at guruji's university I spoke in Sanskrit. I am not so fluent in the language and likely made mistakes but I tried. That's what I tell students, just try. You may not get it right the first time, but trying is where the journey begins. Even just the basic protocol — but under guidance.' Vidyut expressed his fascination with the conch shell (shankh). 'For the past year, I have been researching the shankh. Under guruji, I have made a shankh protocol in prayanam,' he says on a signing off note.
