Sidharth Malhotra to team up with Janhvi Kapoor for a romantic comedy film? Here's what we know

As per a report in Peeping Moon, thrillers, it seemed, were finding a more natural home on streaming platforms. This realization led to a mutual decision to shelve the project, aptly named Spider, and explore fresh avenues. This shift in strategy led to a collaborative brainstorming session with director Tushar Jalota, who helmed the critically acclaimed Dasvi.

“Dinesh Vijan had initially signed Sidharth and Janhvi for a gritty thriller, with Tushar on board as the director. However, over time, both Dinesh and Sidharth realized that the script had limited potential at the box office, as audiences now prefer to watch thriller content on OTT platforms rather than in theatres,” revealed a well-placed industry source.

“They mutually decided to scrap the project and started exploring other story ideas with Tushar. After mulling over several ideas, they zeroed in on a romantic comedy, which Janhvi also liked and quickly came on board. It’s the same team with a new script, finally ready to take off.”

Tentatively titled Param Sundari – a nod to a popular song from Maddock Films’ Mimi – the film promises to be a light-hearted, family-friendly romantic comedy. Think along the lines of Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, another successful Maddock Films release from earlier this year. Production for Param Sundari is currently in its pre-production phase, with filming slated to begin sometime in November or December.
