Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor on Param Sundari vs Chennai Express

Ever since the teaser and trailer of Param Sundari were released, many fans have been comparing the story and setting of the film to Chennai Express, which was released in 2013. The Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer also had a similar cross-cultural romance in the narrative.

In an interview for Mirchi Plus, Janhvi and Sidharth were asked about the comparison. Sidharth said, “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!”

On the other hand, Janhvi said that Chennai Express is a hit movie and an iconic movie. But Deepika Padukone plays a Tamilian in the film, and Janhvi said she plays a half-Tamilian, half-Malayali girl, which is a generalisation coming from people 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," Janhvi said.
