On Wednesday, June 25, the trailer of the upcoming romantic film ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ starring Fatima Sana Shaikh and R. Madhavan was released. This film is a romantic drama that tells the story of two people who meet through a dating app and fall in love. The film is emotionally deep, laced with humor, and filled with various twists.

Talking about the trailer launch event

Fatima appeared in a magenta-colored saree, which she paired with heavy golden earrings. She looked stunning in this look. R. Madhavan was seen in a mehendi-green suit. Along with them, the event was attended by co-stars Namit Das, Ayesha Raza Mishra, and director Vivek Soni.

R. Madhavan said,

Speaking at the trailer launch, R. Madhavan said, “For me, this film is entirely filled with love — it touches the heart deeply. My romantic journey began with ‘Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein’, and after so many years, playing a mature love story again has been a very special experience.

In today’s era, to be part of such a story, where the emotions linked with age are shown so delicately, is nothing short of a blessing.” Madhavan also shared that this film is especially close to his heart because it was shot in Jamshedpur — the city where he spent his childhood.

On Nazia Hassan, Madhavan said,

R. Madhavan spoke fondly and emotionally about Pakistani singer Nazia Hassan, whose 1980 song ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ from the film ‘Qurbani’ inspired the film’s title. “We all loved Nazia Hassan. The way she sang and the kind of songs she chose made her immortal. When we found out about her passing, our hearts broke. Her voice was so unique — even if you heard it from a distance through a speaker, you knew it was her.

Her voice was beautiful, calming, and reminded us of a time when everything felt right in the world. A time when dreams felt possible even ten years later. Today, it feels like everything could fall apart in just ten minutes. But her voice evokes that simplicity and hope from the past.”

Fatima Sana Shaikh said,

Speaking about the film, Fatima Sana Shaikh shared, “This film has been a magical journey for me. Watching it feels like someone has hugged you warmly. The story is deeply honest and beautiful. I’ve never played such a layered character before. It’s not just a story of a woman or a man — it’s the journey of a human being. An emotional, mature, and hope-filled path that touches the heart.”

Fatima also talked about the idea of equal love, saying the film highlights the importance of equality in relationships — even when there's an age gap or different life perspectives.

Director Vivek Soni said,

Speaking about ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’, director Vivek Soni said, “This film is about breaking down the walls we've built around ourselves. We need to learn to embrace both the imperfections and the tender waves of love.”

He added that he faced no major challenges during filming, thanks to a highly experienced, senior, and talented cast. The team shared great chemistry, and everyone worked with unity for the film's success. Any suggestions given were always in the interest of the project. Vivek further explained that the screenplay was ready before casting, and the actors joined the film after reading it. He emphasized that this film doesn’t preach any social message, but rather follows the emotional and beautiful journey of a person.

“The essence of the film — loneliness, the search for love, and soulful connection — is something we all relate to. We’ve all been through such phases in life, which is why we chose to tell this story with honesty.”

At the event, actress Ayesha Raza Mishra said, “This film is about a personal journey. The characters are constantly reflecting — should I change myself or not? And then they move forward based on that internal dialogue.”
