Netflix 2026 Slate: Aishwarya Lekshmi and Arjun Das Navigate Dating in '#Love'
The upcoming Tamil series will be directed by Balaji Mohan.
What happens when a dating app founder and a hotshot investor fall for each other? This forms the essence of #Love, the upcoming Tamil series part of the Netflix 2026 lineup announced on Tuesday.
Tara Krishnan (Aishwarya Lekshmi) is a dating app founder who meets Mathew Jebaraj, a big league finance guy. Will compatibility bring them together or chemistry? The Tamil series, which is produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth, is directed by Balaji Mohan and will be released on the streaming platform in various languages.
Aishwarya Lekshmi will be seen next in Vishnu Vishal's sequel to Gatta Kusthi. The actor will co-produce the movie under his banner, Vishnu Vishal Studios, with Vels Film International. The hit comedy released in 2024 dealt with the story of a man who marries a wrestler. One of the highlights of the film was the interval fight sequence in which Aishwarya Lekshmi’s character defeats a bunch of bad guys in order to save her husband (played by Vishnu Vishal).
Other returning members include Karunas, Munishkanth and Kaali Venkat. Aishwarya Lekshmi was also seen in the Tamil blockbuster, the family-drama Maaman, starring Soori. She was also seen playing a small role in Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life. Her last Malayalam release was Hello Mummy.
Arjun Das, on the other hand, was in Pawan Kalyan's They Call Me OG (2024). "Filmmaker Sujeeth’s They Call Him OG doesn’t tell us anything that films before it haven’t. A promised one lurks in the shadows, gangsters war for control over the Bombay port, blood is profusely shed — of friends and foes, families are splintered, and the one finally emerges. The Pawan Kalyan film takes this cocktail of templates and packages them into a nifty ride. Action sequences — by masters Peter Hein, Stunt Silva, and Kecha Khampakdee, among others — are extensively pored over to give us inventive stunts that don’t make us look away in boredom. But how much can all of this keep flat writing at bay?" read THR India's review of the Telugu film.
