According to the production house, the movie promises to be a "heartfelt tale of love," where two distinct worlds collide. The plot is described as a thrilling ride filled with laughter, chaos, and unexpected twists, adding to the anticipation for its release.

A Homage to Mani Ratnam’s Cinematic Style

Maddock Films’ Dinesh Vijan drew comparisons between Param Sundari and the romantic films of acclaimed director Mani Ratnam, particularly the Hindi adaptation of Alai Payuthey, titled Saathiya. Vijan explained that the film’s music, along with Janhvi playing a South Indian character and Sidharth portraying a North Indian Delhi boy, adds an intriguing dynamic to the love story.

Vijan added that the conflict between the characters—coming from two distinct cultural backgrounds—creates an exciting narrative, drawing influences from the folk-action drama Kantara. He teased that the film’s themes would go beyond what audiences might expect, introducing a more contemporary touch to the traditional romance.
