Naman Ramachandran Indian production house Maddock Films‘ “Param Sundari,” a cross-cultural romance starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, is set for theatrical release on July 25, 2025.

The film, directed by Tushar Jalota (“Dasvi”), centers on a love story between a North Indian protagonist (Malhotra) and a South Indian character (Kapoor), filmed in Kerala.

The film “promises a heartfelt tale of love, where two worlds collide, and sparks are bound to fly. Set against the breathtaking backwaters of Kerala, this love story is a rollercoaster of laughter, chaos, and unexpected twists you won’t see coming,” per a description provided by Maddock. “Its like those films that Mani-sir [Mani Ratnam] used to do like ‘Saathiya’ [the Hindi-language remake of Tamil drama-romance film “Alai Payuthey”],” Maddock chief Dinesh Vijan told Variety. “The kind of music it has and Janhvi playing a South Indian is interesting, Sid’s playing a Northern Delhi boy and the conflict is very cool.

It’s like maybe taking ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ forward – there’s a high tech idea in there. But we are going into the ‘Kantara’ world of sorts – we are going a little more than than that.” In Maddock’s hit sci-fi rom-com “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,” Kriti Sanon plays SIFRA (Super Intelligent Female Robot Automation), with whom robotics engineer Aryan (Shahid Kapoor) falls in love.
