Simone Ashley, celebrated for her breakout role in Bridgerton, joins forces with After star Hero Fiennes Tiffin in a contemporary rom-com set to stream on Prime Video. What makes this love story even more intriguing is its subtle infusion of Indian cultural elements, adding a unique twist to the genre.
In this heartfelt rom-com, struggling photographer Pia (Simone Ashley) receives a prediction: true love and career success await her in the next five dates she goes on. With her sister's wedding looming and family playing matchmaker, her ex (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) reappears, throwing both her love and professional life into chaos.
Simone Ashley, known for her stellar performance in Bridgerton, and Hero Fiennes Tiffin from the After trilogy, come up together for a modern day rom-com on prime Video, and the interesting part is, it has a hint of Indian roots to it.
In the upcoming rom-com Picture This, struggling photographer Pia (Simone Ashley) finds herself at a crossroads when a prediction promises both true love and career success—within the next five dates. With her sister’s wedding fast approaching and her well-meaning family setting her up on blind dates, Pia is determined to take fate into her own hands. However, just as she embarks on this unconventional dating journey, her ex-boyfriend Charlie (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) resurfaces, complicating both her love life and her ambitions.
The trailer opens with Pia, draped elegantly in a saree, leaning against a bar at an Indian wedding. Her confidence falters the moment she spots Charlie in the crowd, prompting her to order a “double drink” from the bartender—clearly bracing herself for an unexpected confrontation.
Determined to move forward, Pia agrees to go on five blind dates arranged by her eager family. But as the trailer reveals, her first few attempts at romance are nothing short of disastrous—one suitor is a flat-earther, another sparks an allergic reaction, and a third makes a disturbingly extreme comment about Pia’s bone structure. As each date spirals into chaos, Pia finds herself questioning whether fate is truly on her side or if she’s simply caught in a string of misfortunes.
Despite her reservations, these unexpected turns might just create space for Charlie to step back into her life, leaving Pia torn between guarding her heart and embracing the possibility of rekindled love.
Directed by Prarthana Mohan, Picture This is set to premiere on Prime Video on March 6, 2025. The ensemble cast features Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Sindhu Vee, Luke Fetherston, Phil Dunster, Adil Ray, Anoushka Chadha, and Kulvinder Ghir.
With its mix of heartfelt romance, comedic misadventures, and a journey of self-discovery, Picture This promises to be a refreshing take on modern love. The trailer hints at a film filled with charm, chaos, and the unpredictable magic of fate.
