The video is captioned as: 'Dinesh Vijan brings to you the Biggest Love Story of the Year #ParamSundari arrives in cinemas on 29th August And in just 1 hour, feel its soul with the year's most heartfelt song — #Pardesiya.'
The film was earlier scheduled to release in July 25, 2025.
The film centers on a love story between a North Indian played by Sidharth and a South Indian girl, 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, reports variety.com.
'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 had previously 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 that.'

Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar had more than just analysis to offer during the thrilling conclusion to the IND vs ENG Test series; he brought his now-famous 'lucky jacket' back into the spotlight. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As India clinched a dramatic six-run victory in the fifth and final Test at The Oval to draw the series 2-2, Gavaskar's exuberant reaction inside the commentary box went viral, adding a delightful personal touch to a historic moment. When Mohammed Siraj dismissed Gus Atkinson to wrap up England's innings at 367, sealing the Test match and levelling the series, the cameras caught Gavaskar proudly pointing to his white jacket, the same one he wore during India's iconic win at the Gabba in 2021.

India's comeback from 1-2 down capped off a thrilling series and gave Gavaskar's jacket yet another legendary chapter.
