Avneet Kaur And Shantanu Maheshwari's Love In Vietnam To Release In Korea On December 8

After connecting strongly with audiences in India, Rahhat Shah Kazmi’s cross-Asian romance Love in Vietnam is now set for its South Korea release — a key milestone for the India-Vietnam collaboration that

has steadily earned attention across the region. The film, starring Shantanu Maheshwari and Avneet Kaur, has recently found traction among Korean viewers, helped by fan edits, social media buzz, and interest in its emotional tone and cultural mix. Korean singer Seaya, who also stars in the film, has added to the excitement with her latest track that has gone viral in Korea.

Shantanu Maheshwari says the Korean release feels “surreal in the best way possible,” adding, “For me, the most touching part is seeing how Korean fans are responding to the small emotional details in the film. They notice things we never expected anyone outside India and Vietnam to pick up, and that kind of sensitivity is rare.” He adds, “I’ve always been curious about Korea’s artistic culture, so the fact that our film is opening there feels like life coming full circle. I’d love to visit during the release, meet the audiences, and talk to them about what the film meant to them. I’m grateful for every bit of love coming our way.”

Avneet Kaur calls this moment “a dream I didn’t even know I had.” Speaking about the Korean audience, she says, “What has moved me the most is how Korean viewers express affection. There is a grace in the way they admire stories and people, especially Korean men and their chivalry. It’s something the whole world smiles about, including me.” She adds, “The idea that our film will now live in Korean theatres feels like a gift. I want to be there when it releases, just to soak in their energy and thank them for letting our story into their world. I feel nothing but excitement and gratitude.”

Inspired by the novel Madonna in a Fur Coat, Love in Vietnam marks an India–Vietnam partnership in Hindi cinema and stars Shantanu Maheshwari, Avneet Kaur and Vietnamese actor Kha Ngan in her Hindi debut, along with Raj Babbar, Gulshan Grover and Farida Jalal. Presented by Zee Studios and produced by Blue Lotus Creatives, Innovations India, Rahat Kazmi Film Studios, Zebaish Entertainment, Tariq Khan Productions and Mango Tree Entertainment, the film now continues its global journey with its upcoming Korean release.
