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.'

Optical illusion: These purple shapes are hiding something surprising. Can you see it?
Optical illusions have long fascinated viewers by bending reality and confusing the brain, but a new image shared on Instagram has taken that fascination to another level. Posted by the page How Things Work, the image shows what initially appears to be five oddly textured purple objects — resembling popsicles or items dipped in paint. However, the real task is to look beyond the surface and identify what's actually in the picture. A brain-teasing image went viral after baffling viewers with its hidden subject.(Instagram/thishowthingswork) (Also read: Optical illusion: Can you spot the hidden cat that's fooled even the sharpest eyes?) The caption on the post challenges viewers directly, stating, "This picture will break your brain, but once you see it, you can't unsee it." What starts off as a confusing assortment of abstract purple shapes soon reveals something entirely unexpected once you take a closer look. Take a look here at the image: A test of perception The optical illusion functions as a visual brain teaser, prompting viewers to re-evaluate their initial impression and search for the truth hidden within the colours and textures. As with many such illusions, the image plays with lighting, angles and familiar shapes to trick the brain into seeing something that isn't there or more accurately, failing to see what is. Internet reacts Since being shared, the post has sparked a discussion in the comments section, with viewers expressing their shock, amusement and curiosity. One user commented, "It took me a full minute but now I can't stop seeing it." Another wrote, "This literally broke my brain for a second. Genius!" Someone else added, "I showed this to my sister and she screamed when she realised what it was." A viewer jokingly asked, "Is this some kind of wizardry?" while another user shared, "My eyes hurt, but it's worth it once you figure it out." Others confessed their confusion, saying things like, "Still can't see it, someone help!" and "This is driving me crazy but I love it." So, have you figured out what's really in the image? Look again — you might just surprise yourself.

Sagarika Chakraborty, who inspired Rani Mukerji's Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway, reacts to actress' National Award win: ‘Not just a personal triumph for her, it's a moment of validation for eve
Sagarika Chakraborty, the Indian mother who inspired this hard-hitting movie, shared her thoughts on Rani's win in an exclusive interview with Firstpost and said 'This recognition is not just a personal triumph for her—it is a moment of validation for every mother who has ever fought against unimaginable odds for her children'. read more Yesterday, (1st August), the 71st National Awards were announced and Rani Mukerji bagged the Best Actress win for her impactful portrayal in Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway. Now, Sagarika Chakraborty, the Indian mother who inspired this hard-hitting movie, shared her thoughts on Rani's win in an exclusive interview with Firstpost and said 'This recognition is not just a personal triumph for her—it is a moment of validation for every mother who has ever fought against unimaginable odds for her children.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'As the real-life inspiration behind _Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway_ and the author of The Journey of a Mother, I am overwhelmed with emotion to see Rani Mukerji honored with the National Award for her performance in the film. This recognition is not just a personal triumph for her—it is a moment of validation for every mother who has ever fought against unimaginable odds for her children,' said Chakraborty. Talking about her book and praising Rani Mukerji's layered and extraordinary portrayal, she added, 'My book chronicles the raw, often painful truth of what I endured. The circumstances I was forced to navigate were far more complex and heartbreaking than what could be portrayed in a two-hour film. Yet within that limitation, Rani Mukerji nailed it. Her portrayal was deeply moving, layered, and extraordinarily powerful. She brought not just authenticity but soul to my story—her performance was nothing short of outstanding.' Sharing that reality was more painful compared to shown in the film, Chakraborty shared, 'Of course, cinema has its own constraints. It's impossible to encapsulate every detail and emotional turn of events in just over two hours. That's why I've carefully documented the many twists, legal battles, and emotional breakdowns in my book. The reality was even more painful and demanding than what the audience witnessed on screen. Every page of The Journey of a Mother is a testament to the strength and endurance a mother must summon when her children are at stake.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sagarika also shared that she has already started work on the second part of her book, which will lead to a possible sequel. 'Given the overwhelming response and the global relevance of this issue, I have already begun working on the second part of my book. There is so much more yet to be said—more layers to this journey that the world needs to understand. Once the writing is complete, I plan to engage in discussions with the director and producers about a potential sequel. There are still many truths to be told,' the author said. 'Above all, I am immensely happy and proud that Rani Mukerji's incredible performance has received the recognition it truly deserves. I believe stories like mine must reach people—not only to raise awareness, but to inspire courage, hope, and change in society. If this film and my book can empower even one struggling parent, then all the pain was not in vain,' she concluded. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
