Shantanu Maheshwari and Avneet Kaur-starrer "Love in Vietnam" is set for a theatrical release across Korea on December 8.
Directed by Rahhat Shah Kazmi, the project marks the first India-Vietnam collaboration in Hindi cinema. It released in India on September 12.
The film is described as a heart-wrenching love story inspired from the best-selling novel "Madonna in a Fur Coat" by Sabahattin Ali, according to a press release.
"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," said Avneet, known for her role in "Tiku Weds Sheru".

“It’s something the whole world smiles about, including me. 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," she added.
Shantanu of "Gangubai Kathiawadi" fame said the release of the film in Korean theatres feels "surreal". “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. 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," he said.
