Shantanu Maheshwari And Avneet Kaur Sparkle at Love in Vietnam Trailer Launch in Mumbai

Mumbai lit up with cross-cultural charm as the cast of Love in Vietnam—led by Shantanu Maheshwari and Avneet Kaur—unveiled the much-awaited trailer of their film. A first-of-its-kind India-Vietnam collaboration, the event was all things glam and global. Avneet turned heads in a vibrant yellow dress, radiating sunshine, while Shantanu kept things effortlessly cool in a smart-casual ensemble. The chemistry between the leads was already stealing the show—before the trailer even began.

Directed by Rahhat Shah Kazmi, Love in Vietnam is a musical romance that tells a poetic story of love and longing, inspired by the acclaimed Turkish novel Madonna in a Fur Coat. The film pairs Indian and Vietnamese talent—bringing together Avneet Kaur, Shantanu Maheshwari, and Vietnamese star Kha Ngan in a story where cultures blend and hearts collide. It’s a tale of youth, art, and emotional connection across borders.

What makes this film truly historic is that it’s India’s first official co-production with Vietnam, backed by Zee Studios and presented to the world at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. Since then, it’s been making quiet waves on the international circuit, including a world premiere at the Da Nang Asian Film Festival in July 2025—where Maheshwari spoke about the film’s universal themes of love and cultural harmony.

The film also features stalwarts like Raj Babbar, Gulshan Grover, and Farida Jalal, adding depth and gravitas to its young, lyrical narrative. With music playing a pivotal role and the picturesque locales of Vietnam framing the drama, Love in Vietnam promises a sensory experience that transcends language and geography.

Set to hit Indian cinemas on September 12, 2025, Love in Vietnam is more than just a romantic drama—it’s a cinematic bridge between two nations, a celebration of young love, and a tribute to the timeless magic of soulful storytelling.
