You get Love Hurts, a high-octane action-comedy premiering on August 7, 2025, exclusively on JioHotstar. Directed by Jonathan Eusebio, and produced by 87North Productions, this wild ride blends heart, humor, and heavy firepower.

Plot Summary

Marvin Gable (Ke Huy Quan) is living the quiet life. Once one of the deadliest assassins in the world, he’s now a mild-mannered suburban realtor with a peaceful existence and a new name. But everything changes when a mysterious crimson envelope arrives, sent by Rose Carlisle (Ariana DeBose)—a dangerous ghost from Marvin’s past.

As Marvin tries to maintain his cover, he’s thrown headfirst into a web of vendettas, secret identities, and explosive showdowns. The envelope is a hit list—and Marvin’s name is on it. To survive, he must team up with his estranged brother Alvin “Knuckles” Gable (Daniel Wu) and confront old enemies, new assassins, and unresolved heartbreak.
