Dinesh Vijan's on Param Sundari

Dinesh Vijan had previously compared the movie to Mani Ratnam films. In an interview with Variety, he said that the conflict between Sidharth's North Indian boy meeting Janhvi's South Indian girl is 'very cool.' 

"It's like maybe taking Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (Shahid Kapoor-Kriti Sanon's film) 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," Vijan said. 

Directed by Tushar Jalota and produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, Param Sundari is about a North Indian man falling in love with a South Indian woman. The film will hit theaters on July 25.
