\tIndian production house Maddock Films\u2018 \u201cParam Sundari,\u201d a cross-cultural romance starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, is set for theatrical release on July 25, 2025.<\/p>\n
\tThe film, directed by Tushar Jalota (\u201cDasvi\u201d), centers on a love story between a North Indian protagonist (Malhotra) and a South Indian character (Kapoor), filmed in Kerala. The film \u201cpromises 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\u2019t see coming,\u201d per a description provided by Maddock. <\/p>\n
\t\u201cIts like those films that Mani-sir [Mani Ratnam] used to do like \u2018Saathiya\u2019 [the Hindi-language remake of Tamil drama-romance film \u201cAlai Payuthey\u201d],\u201d Maddock chief Dinesh Vijan told Variety. \u201cThe kind of music it has and Janhvi playing a South Indian is interesting, Sid\u2019s playing a Northern Delhi boy and the conflict is very cool. It\u2019s like maybe taking \u2018Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya\u2019 forward \u2013 there\u2019s a high tech idea in there. But we are going into the \u2018Kantara\u2019 world of sorts \u2013 we are going a little more than than that.\u201d \t<\/p>\n
\tIn Maddock\u2019s hit sci-fi rom-com \u201cTeri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,\u201d Kriti Sanon plays SIFRA (Super Intelligent Female Robot Automation), with whom robotics engineer\u00a0Aryan (Shahid Kapoor) falls in love. SIFRA eventually develops sentient feelings. <\/p>\n
\t\t\t \t\t\tPopular on Variety\t\t \t \t\t \t \tRishab Shetty\u2019s \u201cKantara\u201d (2022) is a folk-action drama set in rural Karnataka, where a rebellious villager, Shiva, becomes entangled in a clash between his community\u2019s sacred traditions and modern greed.<\/p>\n
\tMaddock Films delivered a series of successful genre films in 2024, including the breakout horror-comedy \u201cMunjya,\u201d the franchise continuation \u201cStree 2,\u201d thriller \u201cSector 36\u2033 and whodunnit \u201cMurder Mubarak.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
