Param Sundari first look: Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in another ‘north meets south' Bollywood flick. Watch
Maddock Films have just released the first look for their upcoming romantic film Param Sundari, featuring stars Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in the lead roles. Tushar Jalota will be helming the project, and from an initial glance, the film looks like a 'two lovers from different backgrounds' story, a thread both actors have pulled in their prior films. Param (Sidharth) and Sundari (Janhvi) belong to opposite sides of our country, with the former likely playing a 'loud and heart-on-his-sleeve' kind of guy from the North and the latter emulating a sophisticated, sober and intelligent girl from the South. The video introduces them as such, with the grand shots of the two dancing and singing amid nature, wearing matching outfits for every different shot. A montage of shots then comes together, showcasing the obvious troubles they are going to face in the story, such as Param being chased by people presumably from Sundari's family or Param walking away from a house that seems to be decorated for a wedding while someone who is Sundari turns her back to him. ALSO READ: Janhvi Kapoor couldn't care less about being called 'plastic', predicts that she'll be trolled for her looks at Cannes The first look seems to give a sneak peek into a story that is going to be through and through Bollywood, with fans likening it to 'Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol-like' dance sequences and the 'Ranbir Kapoor walking away from a wedding' sequences. Director Tushar Jalota is being joined by Sachin-Jigar for the music of the film, while Amitabh Bhattacharya has penned the lyrics. While Sidharth is coming off a lacklustre performance in Yodha (2024), Janhvi just experienced a career-defining moment just a few days ago when Homebound, a film she was starring in alongside Ishaan Khatter, received a 9-minute-long ovation at the Cannes International Film Festival. As Sidharth looks for a win on the professional front, he has his hands full on the personal side, as he and wife Kiara Advani are expecting their first child soon. The Bollywood couple announced the pregnancy earlier this year.

Gensol Engineering subsidiary taken to Delhi high court over leased EVs
New Delhi: Gensol Engineering's subsidiary, Param Renewable Energy, has been taken to the Delhi high court by electric vehicle lessor SMAS Auto Leasing India Private Ltd. The petition sought the appointment of a court-appointed receiver to take custody of the vehicles. SMAS Auto also asked the court to direct the company to disclose, via affidavit, all movable and immovable assets, including bank accounts, they own or have an interest in, as per the petition, which was reviewed by Mint. In addition, SMAS Auto has urged the court to direct Param Renewable to disclose the current locations of the leased EVs. 'Issue an ex-parte ad-interim injunction restraining the Respondents from alienating, transferring, or encumbering their assets in any manner prejudicial to the petitioner's interest pending the hearing and final disposal of the arbitral proceedings, and until the execution of the arbitral award,' the petition stated. The plea noted that EVs are fast-depreciating assets due to their sensitive battery systems, which require ongoing maintenance and regular use. Prolonged inactivity, exposure to extreme heat, and a lack of monitoring, it says, significantly increase the risk of permanent battery damage and complete asset devaluation. The lessor added that it was unaware of the location or condition of the EVs, leaving it exposed to liability for any incidents involving the vehicles while they remain under Param's control. 'Pass an order directing the Respondents to disclose on affidavit all their respective movable and immovable assets, including bank accounts which are owned by them or in which they have any rights or interests,' the plea also states. SMAS Auto is seeking a court directive requiring Param Renewable to deposit ₹ 19.22 lakh in outstanding lease rentals and service charges, along with ₹ 3.77 crore as the foreclosure value following the premature termination of the lease agreement. The dispute stems from a Master Lease Agreement dated June 22, 2022, under which 62 EVs were leased to Param Renewable and fleet management services were to be provided. A deed of guarantee dated 28 June 2022, was also signed by Param's directors—Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi—offering an unconditional personal guarantee for all payment obligations under the agreement. According to the plea, Param defaulted on several lease payments despite receiving regular invoices this led to approach the court. The Delhi high court is expected to hear the latest petition on Thursday. Param Renewable Energy, established in 2019, is a prominent subsidiary of Gensol Engineering Ltd., specialising in third-party Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services for renewable energy assets. This case follows an earlier court order dated 7 May, in which the Delhi high court directed the seizure of 164 EVs leased by SMAS Auto to Gensol Engineering. The current petition marks the sixth such legal action in less than four weeks. The total number of EVs leased to Gensol and BluSmart that are now under judicial protection has risen to 698. Separately, on 22 May, the Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT)-III, Delhi, directed Gensol Engineering Ltd and its subsidiary Gensol EV Lease Pvt. Ltd to maintain status quo on their secured assets and vehicles, following petitions by state-run lenders—Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (Ireda) and Power Finance Corp. Ltd (PFC)—seeking recovery of dues totalling approximately ₹ 992 crore. On 16 May, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) issued a notice to Gensol Engineering Ltd on a ₹ 510 crore insolvency plea filed by Ireda, alleging fraud and default in loan repayments.

In an exclusive conversation, the actor opened up about filming a high-octane action sequence alongside co-star Sanam Johar , and how the intense two-day shoot brought out an exciting and challenging side of his craft. Sharing his experience, Param said, 'The upcoming action sequence was a great experience. The fight went on for two days, and working with Sanam was amazing. He's been a dancer, so he's extremely flexible and agile. It became a true give-and-take on set. The energy, the beats, the transitions—everything just fell into place.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sanam Johar (@sanamjohar) For Param, the sequence wasn't just a choreographed stunt; it was an opportunity to explore something fresh. 'It was really fun to explore that part of me. I enjoyed every bit of it and I'm definitely looking forward to more action scenes in the future.' Interestingly, Param doesn't tie himself to any one genre. 'There's no particular favorite genre for me. I just love to act and enjoy switching moods, tones, and styles. I don't like to stick to one-dimensional roles; I like variety and creative challenges.' Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, currently featuring Param Singh and Bhavika Sharma , continues to evolve with dramatic twists. Once centered on a love triangle, the show has undergone several narrative leaps and cast changes. With the recent exit of Vaibhavi Hankare and the entry of new faces, the series remains gripping. Despite time slot shifts and fierce competition, its loyal audience and compelling storylines keep it among TV's most talked-about dramas.
