After the success of Modern Love Mumbai on Prime Video, Aparna Purohit, head of India Originals at Amazon Prime Video, expressed excitement about bringing the second Indian instalment of our highly regarded international franchise, Modern Love. The film Modern Love Hyderabad examines the benefits, difficulties, trials, and curative effects of love. It has been an amazing creative journey of inspiration and collaboration working with Elahe Hiptoola and Nagesh Kukunoor to tell these emotionally charged but rooted stories.

The popular New York Times column Modern Love served as inspiration for the anthology series. John Carney directed the first US version. Another adaptation of the television series Modern, titled Love Chennai, will be released following Mumbai and Hyderabad. On July 8, the programme will begin to stream on the service. On Wednesday, Amazon Prime Video posted a poster for the show on Twitter that contained eight scenes from the anthology. The poster was captioned, "Bringing you 6 heartfelt stories of love all the way from Hyderabad. #ModernLoveOnPrime, July 8."
