Janhvi Kapoor is reportedly in discussions to lead the remake of her mother Sridevi’s legendary film Chaalbaaz, approaching the project with caution to avoid direct comparisons. Currently, Janhvi is observing the box office performance of her recent release, Param Sundari. The remake of Chaalbaaz, which originally featured her mother in a double role, was initially announced with Shraddha Kapoor in the lead, but the project did not move forward. Now, sources indicate that Janhvi may take on the role instead.

According to the Free Press Journal, a source close to the development shared, “For Janhvi, Chaalbaaz is a lot more than just a film. It’s an emotion. She has jumped onto the chance of playing the lead role in Chaalbaaz, but is treading this with utmost caution.” The source further added, “She is taking opinions from people around her for the Chaalbaaz remake. She is excited, but is also wary of all the comparisons. She is expected to take a call on the Chaalbaaz remake by the end of September.”

After Param Sundari, Janhvi Kapoor has an exciting lineup of projects. She is looking forward to the release of her next film, which also stars Varun Dhawan, Sanya Malhotra, and Rohit Saraf. The teaser for this film was recently released and has received positive reviews from audiences.

Param Sundari Box Office: Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s Movie Settles for a Decent Opening

by jummy84 August 30, 2025
written by jummy84

Param Sundari earned around Rs 7.25 crores on its first day at the box office. The worldwide collection for the movie is Rs 10 crores. The overseas collection for the first day is Rs 1.30 crores while India gross collection stands at Rs 8.70 crores.

Interestingly, the movie had an overall 12.92% Hindi occupancy on August 29, 2025. The morning shows saw an occupancy of 8.19% while the afternoon shows saw an overall occupancy of 11.45%. The evening and the night shows were at an occupancy of 12.27% and 19.77% respectively.

Mumbai saw a footfall of 12.25% at the theatres while Delhi was at 13.00%. Bengaluru was at an occupancy of 24.50% while Hyderabad saw a footfall of 21.75%.

While these are initial reports, the movie has received rave public reviews on social media platforms. Many also criticised the movie for its dialogues and over plot setup. One user wrote, “#ParamSundari tries to be a fun ride, but ends up pretty flat. The writing stays on a very basic level with only a handful of jokes actually landing. Sid & Jhanvi are decent, the music lifts the mood but beyond that it feels too simple and at times even overboard.”

Param Sundari

 

Filmfare’s reviewer gave the movie 3 stars. He noted, “Param Sundari serves as a reminder of how romance once formed the beating heart of Bollywood storytelling and why its decline has left a void. Like forgetting how to measure rice and dal when it’s no longer cooked, the genre seems to have lost its proportions. While it pokes light-hearted fun at the conventions of romance as shown in our films, we’re sure Tushar Jalota’s intention wasn’t to make a satire. The film’s trailer got sharp reactions from viewers in Kerala, who felt that the film’s depiction of Malayali culture was outdated and steeped in stereotypes. Let’s hope they’re more forgiving of the complete film.”

The leading cast of the movie comprises Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra. The ensemble cast comprises Sanjay Kapoor, Renji Panicker, Manjot Singh and Abhishek Banerjee.

Bollywood fans are in for a treat as Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor gear up to bring their sizzling chemistry to the big screen in Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. The much-awaited teaser of the rom-com finally dropped on Friday, August 29, after a slight delay, instantly grabbing attention with its vibrant energy and humor.

Teaser Highlights

The teaser kicks off with Varun Dhawan channeling his inner Amarendra Baahubali, originally played by Prabhas. However, the mood quickly shifts when his friend hilariously remarks, “Ranveer Singh ki dhoti mein Prabhas ka paudha lag raha hai.” From there, the teaser introduces the key characters, including Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra and Rohit Saraf, who play another on-screen couple. Packed with drama, dance, romance, and colors, the teaser evokes memories of Varun’s Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania days. The film’s logline sums it up best: “Four people. Two heartbreakers. One wedding.”

Fans Celebrate Varun’s Return to Comedy

Audiences couldn’t contain their excitement on YouTube, with comments like “Finally Varun Dhawan in full-on comedy,” and “VD back in his prime mode.” Fans noted that Varun hasn’t been seen in such a lighthearted rom-com since Main Tera Hero, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania.

Big Festive Release

Directed by Shashank Khaitan, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari marks Varun’s third outing with the filmmaker after two successful collaborations. The film also stars Akshay Oberoi and Maniesh Paul in pivotal roles. Set to release on October 2, Gandhi Jayanti, the film strategically aligns with Dussehra, giving it an extended festive window.

However, it won’t be a solo release. The film will clash at the box office with Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1 and Harshvardhan Rane’s Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, making October 2 a high-stakes day for Bollywood.

Param Sundari X Review: Final Verdict

From the chatter on X, Param Sundari has turned out to be a lively entertainer that works largely because of its lead stars. Fans cannot stop praising Sidharth Malhotra’s charm and Janhvi Kapoor’s confident act, with many even calling it her best performance to date. The first half, interval hook, and songs have been the crowd-pullers, while the climax has delivered the emotional kick. On the downside, a few viewers felt the writing dipped in parts and could have been sharper. Otherwise, the film is perceived as a fun family drama with romance and action mixed in.

JANHVI KAPOOR AND SIDHARTH MALHOTRA’S HEARTFELT PRAYER!” – Couple Seeks Blessings At Lalbaugcha Raja For Param Sundari’s Success! | Glamsham.com

Janhvi Kapoor, busy with her own promotional duties for her next romantic drama Param Sundari with Sidharth Malhotra, found the time to join in Ganesh Chaturthi festivities. On August 28, the actress paid her respects at the puja arranged by designer Manish Malhotra at his house and then went to the famous Lalbaugcha Raja with Sidharth to seek god’s blessings for their film’s success.

Traditional Getup for the Occasion
For the festivities, Janhvi wore a stunning red saree coupled with a Maharashtrian nose ring, exuding celebratory grandeur. She was spotted making prayers alongside the Ganesh idol, doing the rituals with faith, and later enjoying some happy moments with Manish Malhotra. Sharing photos from the puja on Instagram, she captioned them briefly with, “Ganpati Bappa Morya.”

Discussing Comparisons with Chennai Express
As enthusiasm for Param Sundari keeps building, the movie has also fueled debates on social media in terms of its resemblance to Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s Chennai Express. Critics have noted similarities in the plot, while Janhvi has had comments made about her accent in the movie.

Replying to these talks in an interview with Mirchi Plus, Janhvi clarified, “I play a character from Kerala, but it is not that all South Indians are the same. There are differences in the culture and this story has its own genuineness. Films like 2 States also had such similarities, but that happened after Chennai Express. Let’s be honest, Chennai Express is a classic, and this film is a completely different thing.”

A Cross-Cultural Love Story
Directed by Tushar Jalota, Param Sundari explores the romance between two characters from contrasting backgrounds—one from Delhi and the other from Kerala—highlighting the challenges of cultural differences. Alongside Janhvi and Sidharth, the film features Rajeev Khandelwal and Aakash Dahiya in pivotal roles.

With its strong ensemble cast, rich cultural setting, and Janhvi’s rising popularity, Param Sundari has already become one of the year’s most awaited releases.

Janhvi Kapoor Breaks Silence On Param Sundari’s Comparisons With SRK-Deepika Padukone’s Chennai Express: ‘Not The Same’

by jummy84 August 28, 2025
written by jummy84

Bollywood stars Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra responded to comparisons between their upcoming film Param Sundari and Chennai Express, clarifying that the storyline, characters, and backdrop are entirely different. The trailer of Param Sundari had sparked speculation among fans about similarities with Chennai Express. Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra dismissed comparisons between their upcoming film Param Sundari and the 2013 blockbuster Chennai Express.

In an interview with Mirchi Plus, the actors emphasized that the parallels ignore significant differences in the film’s setting, characters, and overall intent. Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra are actively promoting their upcoming film Param Sundari, slated to release in theatres this Friday. Since the trailer’s launch, many fans have drawn parallels between its storyline and the 2013 hit Chennai Express. The Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer too revolved around a cross-cultural romance, making the comparison inevitable.

What Sid and Janhvi said

During an interview with Mirchi Plus, when the duo was asked about the comparisons with Chennai Express, Sidharth responded: “I think it’s a great thing. I love Chennai Express! I think it’s a good reference. I take it as a compliment. The picture was released 10 years ago. Definitely, these two films are not the same!”

‘It’s a different milieu altogether’ Janhvi added, “It’s a hit movie and an iconic movie. But Deepika [Padukone] played a Tamilian in the film, and I play a half-Tamilian, half-Malayali girl… which, if you think about it, is a generalisation happening from the people who are comparing the two films. I am from Kerala in the film, and not all people from the South can be grouped together. It’s a different milieu altogether, and it’s not like that this is a repetitive thing at all. 2 States was similar, but it came after Chennai Express, and these kinds of films aren’t being released every year. The point is people aren’t comparing us to something that needs to be forgotten, Chennai Express was an iconic film, with iconic characters and actors.”

Param Sundari tells the story of a cross-cultural romance between two leads—one from Delhi and the other from Kerala. Alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, the film features Rajeev Khandelwal and Aakash Dahiya in key roles. Directed by Tushar Jalota, the movie is slated for release on 29 August.

Karan Johar evolved from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, says Janhvi Kapoor: ‘True sign of artist’ | Bollywood

written by jummy84

Published on: Aug 27, 2025 06:03 am IST

Karan Johar made his directorial debut with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in 1998. Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani released in 2023.

Karan Johar recently won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment for his directorial feature Rocky Aur Rani kii Prem Kahani. Interestingly, he had won the same award for his directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which was released in 1998. Actor Janhvi Kapoor stressed how Karan has evolved as a director with the times in an interview with Mirchi Plus. (Also read: Janhvi Kapoor breaks silence on Param Sundari vs Chennai Express comparisons: ‘Not all people from the South can be…’)

Janhvi Kapoor showered praise on Karan Johar and how he has evolved as a director.

What Janhvi said about Karan Johar

During the interview, Janhvi was seen with co-star Sidharth Malhotra, and the two talked about their favourite rom-coms. They went on to talk about how Mani Ratnam’s Saathiya is a toxic love story in many ways. In this regard, Janhvi said, “It is also interesting to see how filmmakers have evolved with society. I think that Karan [Johar] is a great example.”

She went on to explain her point further and added, “If you look back at Kuch Kuch Hota Hai… of course, it was iconic, but phir jaake jab unhone Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani banayi (then he went on to make this film), there you can see that he is a very evolved feminist. I think that is a true sign of an artist.”

About the two films

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai starred Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji. The film was praised for its fresh on-screen pairing and music. Still, over the years many viewers have revisited the film and criticised it for its problematic portrayal of gender stereotypes.

Meanwhile, the romantic drama Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani tackled critical issues like feminism, the toxic effects of patriarchy, gender stereotypes, and women’s empowerment. Starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, the film grossed over ₹300 crore upon its release in 2023.

A few days ago, Karan announced via Instagram that he is set to return to the director’s chair in 2026. He has promised to make a classic, old-fashioned Hindi film that resonates with him.
