Special Thanks: Why Kriti Sanon and Luv Ranjan Are Acknowledged
Param Sundari opened with a healthy box office start, and strong word-of-mouth helped it sustain through the week. The opening disclaimer named Kriti Sanon and producer-director Luv Ranjan in a ‘Special Thanks,’ which puzzled some moviegoers and fueled talk of a possible on-screen cameo.
A source told Bollywood Hungama that Kriti’s link to Param Sundari stems from Mimi, where a song of the same name became a cultural touchstone. Maddock Films, which produced Mimi and Param Sundari, chose to acknowledge Kriti as a thoughtful gesture from the team.
Long association with Maddock Films and upcoming projects
Kriti Sanon has a long-standing association with Maddock Films, appearing in seven productions including Raabta, Luka Chuppi, Arjun Patiala, Mimi, Hum Do Hamare Do, Bhediya, and Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024).
Reports note she has lined up another collaboration with Dinesh Vijan for Cocktail 2 and is expected to take part in Bhediya 2 in the near future.
On the other side, Luv Ranjan reportedly offered input to Param Sundari, guiding the film toward its quirky tone, with the makers incorporating some of his suggestions.
At Maddock’s event and remarks about the collaboration
During Maddock Films’ success bash earlier this year, a reel showcased the banner’s notable titles, prompting Kriti Sanon to speak about her ongoing collaboration with Maddock and Dinesh Vijan. She noted her presence across multiple Maddock releases and hinted at an upcoming eighth project with the studio.
Film details and reception
Param Sundari is directed by Tushar Jalota and features Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in leading roles. The film opened with a solid response and has benefited from steady audience traction in the days that followed, aided by positive word of mouth.
Implications for fans and the road ahead
In sum, the Special Thanks line underscores how industry relationships shape releases and public perception. For fans, the link between Kriti Sanon and Param Sundari adds another layer to Maddock’s collaborations, and the company’s continued projects with Kriti and Dinesh Vijan—alongside upcoming entries like Cocktail 2 and Bhediya 2—signal more crossovers to watch. The lasting takeaway is that these ties can influence casting momentum and future collaborations, even as Param Sundari itself rides its early success.
