The film chronicles the journey of 42-year-old Shrirenu Tripathi, played by R. Madhavan, who is a man who fits in with the background of daily life. He is reserved, caught up in routine, and secretly longs for love but is unsure of how to find it.

When he meets Madhu Bose (Fatima Sana Shaikh), a self-assured, independent woman who embraces life unapologetically on her own terms, his entire world starts to change.

The story, which is set in Kolkata and Jamshedpur, delicately examines a rare theme in film: barabari wala pyaar, or love based on equality. As their lives converge, the movie explores deeper themes and questions conventional wisdom regarding emotional sensitivity, masculinity, and the changing definition of friendship in addition to igniting a distinctive romance.

As quoted by News18, R Madhavan spoke about his role in the film and said, “Aap Jaisa Koi is unlike any love story I’ve done before — it’s quiet, awkward, and deeply human. Shrirenu is one of the most complex characters I’ve played… It’s patient, gentle, and deeply affecting. I was drawn to how it speaks to all the people who’ve felt overlooked in life or love."

The film is set to premiere on Netflix on July 11. It is directed by Vivek Soni and produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra.
