About Param Sundari

Param Sundari is a romantic comedy featuring a cross-cultural romance between a boy from Delhi (played by Sidharth Malhotra) and a girl from Kerala (played by Janhvi). The trailer of the film was released a few days ago and sparked many reactions on social media. While some were sceptical about Janhvi’s stereotypical accent as a Malayali, a majority of users showered love on the trailer.

Apart from Sidharth and Janhvi, the film also stars Rajeev Khandelwal and Aakash Dahiya in pivotal roles. Produced by Dinesh Vijan, it is set to release on August 29.
