Director Tushar Jalota describes 'Param Sundari' as a "celebration of differences - the way two distinct worlds can collide and yet create something beautiful together"He added, "Kerala gave us a visual palette that feels timeless, and the story gave us the emotional depth to match it. The trailer is just a glimpse of the journey."
It remains to be seen if Sidharth and Janhvi's 'Param Sundari' manages to win the audience's hearts. Meanwhile, audience can keep listening to Sonu Nigam's soulful melody 'Pardesiya' from 'Param Sundari', which is created by Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films. (ANI)
