Bollywood’s fresh pairing of Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra is already creating a stir among fans, even before their upcoming romantic comedy Param Sundari hits the big screen. Currently, the duo is busy shooting in the serene, postcard-worthy backwaters of Kerala, where the film’s storyline is unfolding amidst coconut groves and traditional houseboats.
Directed by Tushar Jalota — best known for helming the social comedy Dasvi — Param Sundari promises to blend North and South Indian flavors into a quirky love story. The film revolves around two characters from contrasting cultural backgrounds who are unexpectedly brought together by fate, only to discover that love isn’t bound by geography — but often tangled in misunderstandings, laughter, and unspoken emotions. The film aims to explore the fun, friction, and eventual fondness that arises when two very different worlds meet.
Adding to the excitement, Janhvi Kapoor recently gave fans a peek behind the scenes by sharing a series of candid moments from the film’s set. In the pictures, she can be seen taking co-star Sidharth Malhotra for a breezy scooty ride through the quaint Kerala streets. Dressed in a vibrant red saree, accessorized with purple bangles, fragrant gajra, and a pair of stylish black sunglasses, Janhvi looked every bit the quintessential cinematic heroine. Sidharth, casually handsome in a peach shirt and grey trousers, complemented her perfectly as he perched behind her on the bright green scooter.
One frame even showed a slightly wobbly moment as Janhvi tried to steady the e-scooter, with Sidharth lending a helping hand to balance the ride, adding a sweet realness to the otherwise glamorous world of film sets.
Captioning her playful post with, “Param loves it when I take him for a ride,” Janhvi effortlessly teased her character’s dynamic with Sidharth’s in the movie, giving fans a tiny taste of the light-hearted romance in store.
Sidharth didn’t miss the chance to join in on the fun either — he reshared the post on his Instagram stories, adding a nostalgic Bollywood touch by pairing it with the evergreen romantic track Tumse Jo Dekhte Hi Pyaar Hua from the Salman Khan and Raveena Tandon starrer Pathar Ke Phool (1991). His playful post left fans even more charmed.
The film also stars seasoned actor Rajeev Khandelwal and Aakash Dahiya, who are set to play key roles in this romantic rollercoaster. The makers have locked July 25 as the official release date, and the buzz around the film only seems to be intensifying as glimpses from the sets continue to flood social media.
Fans were quick to flood the comment sections with their excitement. One admirer swooned over Janhvi’s elegant appearance, writing, “Janhvi in red is my Roman Empire.” Another fan couldn’t help but rave about Sidharth’s effortless charm, commenting, “Sidharth Malhotra in pink… It’s already a blockbuster in my heart.” The duo’s light-hearted chemistry even sparked ‘couple goals’ comments from followers, with many calling the pair ‘sundar’ and ‘adorable beyond words.’
It’s clear that Param Sundari isn’t just about scenic locales and cinematic storytelling — the real magic seems to lie in the crackling, off-screen camaraderie between its leads, which has fans eagerly waiting for the curtain to rise on this cross-cultural love story.
