'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.'

The makers have announced the new release date of romantic comedy. It will be now releasing on August 29 The much-awaited romantic comedy Param Sundari, featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, has officially announced its new release date. After much buzz and speculation, the film is now slated to hit theatres on August 29. Along with the announcement, a new motion poster was also released. The video opens with a new poster of Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor. A few days back, the new promotional video was shot as the actors were spotted at the Maddock office. 'The biggest love story of the year, Param Sundari, from the house of Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films, directed by Tushar Jalota, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, releases August 29. And in just one hour, feel every beat and every emotion of the love story with Pardesiya, the love anthem of 2025," read the caption. Fans reacted with heart emojis. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) Earlier, Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films has subtly revealed a shift in the release plan for its much-anticipated film, Param Sundari. The film, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, created a lot of excitement and buzz with its first look and is now slated to hit cinemas in August 2025. The change was unveiled through a revised teaser that was attached to the theatrical prints of Maalik, which released on July 11. While the teaser was the same as the one released in May, it featured an updated slate, swapping out 'This July" for 'This August." The original teaser ended with 'In cinemas, July 25," but the new version now reads: 'In cinemas worldwide this August." Earlier, a PeepingMoon report said, 'Dinesh Vijan didn't want Param Sundari to be lost in a crowded release schedule next month." The producer reportedly feels that the romantic drama has commercial value. 'Since there are already other rom-coms releasing in July, the visibility and reception of Sidharth-Janhvi's film might have been affected," the source had said. It was also reported that Dinesh and his team are apparently considering an August release for the romantic drama. Param Sundari is directed by Tushar Jalota, known for his incredible work in Dasvi. The upcoming poignant drama is a cross-cultural love story between a North Indian boy and a South Indian girl. What unfolds after two contrasting worlds collide forms the further narrative. With this fresh pairing of Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, the film promises to bring a new-age love story to the big screen, packaged with Maddock's signature flair. The official release date announcement is expected soon. First Published: July 30, 2025, 11:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films To Launch Arabian Nights Fantasy Universe
Last Updated: Maddock Films, led by Dinesh Vijan, is developing a fantasy trilogy inspired by The Arabian Nights, starting with Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and the "Chiranjeevi Universe". Following the success of recent projects like Stree 2 and Chhaava, Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films is now preparing to embark on two new large-scale cinematic ventures – a fantasy franchise inspired by The Arabian Nights and a mythological universe rooted in Hindu lore. These ambitious plans mark a significant leap in Maddock's storytelling approach, moving beyond horror-comedy into grander, world-building narratives. As per a report by PeepingMoon, Maddock has been quietly developing a fantasy trilogy based on The Arabian Nights for over two years. This universe will reinterpret the classic tales with an Indian sensibility, aiming to bring beloved characters and their stories to life with a fresh perspective and high production values. The trilogy will commence with Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, followed by Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp, and finally Sinbad the Sailor. Each installment is expected to blend magic, adventure, and cultural heritage, promising visuals and storytelling on a scale rarely explored in Indian cinema. The production for Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves is expected to begin in 2025. Parallel to this, Maddock Films is also building what's being described as the 'Chiranjeevi Universe" – a mythological world centered on the immortal figures of Hindu epics. The universe will be launched with Mahavatar, a film starring Vicky Kaushal as Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. 'Mahavatar" will be directed by Amar Kaushik and is slated to begin filming later this year, aiming for a Christmas 2026 release. The term 'Chiranjeevi" refers to eternal beings believed to live on until the end of the Kali Yuga. Maddock intends to eventually introduce other mythological characters from the Ramayana and Mahabharata, depending on how Mahavatar performs commercially.

EXCLUSIVE: Rajkummar Rao begins Ujjwal Nikam Biopic with Avinash Arun from October 2025
Earlier in 2024, Pinkvilla had exclusively reported that Aamir Khan is in talks for the Ujjwal Nikam biopic with Avinash Arun as the director. The conversations eventually fizzled out as Aamir decided to sign on for a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke with Rajkumar Hirani. And now, we have exclusively learnt that the Ujjwal Nikam biopic is back on track, as director Avinash Arun has roped in Rajkummar Rao to play the titular role.

'The prep-work for Ujjwal Nikam biopic is presently underway, and Rajkummar Rao is expected to undergo intense acting workshops to step into the shoes of a real-life lawyer. Several names were considered for the film, but eventually, Avinash felt that no one fits the bill like Rajkummar Rao,' revealed a source close to the development. The film will be produced by Dinesh Vijan under his banner, Maddock Films, and will focus on the controversial courtroom proceedings of the 1993 Bombay Blasts, as also the 2008 Mumbai Train Attacks.

The film will retell few of the biggest courtroom battles on the big screen,' the source added. The film goes on floors in October 2025, and will be wrapped up by the March 2026.

Maddock is looking to diversify it's line up with films across genres, and the Ujjwal Nikam Biopic is just an addition to the same,' the source concluded. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates
