Behind the Glam: Janhvi Kapoor Gets Real in ‘Bheegi Saree’ BTS from Param Sundari

Maddock Films just gave fans a sneak peek into what it really takes to shoot a full-blown Bollywood rain song — and it’s far from glamorous. In a refreshingly raw behind-the-scenes video, Janhvi Kapoor is seen in her no-glam element, walking audiences through a day in the life of Sundari, her character from the upcoming film Param Sundari. And spoiler: it’s soaked in sweat, water, and a whole lot of heart.

The caption sets the tone: “From dreamy mornings to filmy nights of #BheegiSaree…” and dreamy it is — if your dreams involve 5AM workouts, 12-hour shoots, and rain machines blasting cold water at full force. Janhvi starts her day prepping for the song Bheegi Saree, which has just dropped online and is already drawing attention for its classic throwback to Bollywood’s iconic monsoon romance scenes. Think wet sarees, longing stares, and just a hint of pain — and then double the drama.

What makes this BTS video a standout is Janhvi herself. Far from the red-carpet-ready star, she’s candid, slightly bruised (literally), and joking about her “battle scars” from the day's shoot. It’s a rare and endearing look at the physical toll that these picture-perfect moments take — drenched in water, surrounded by chaos, and somehow still managing to emote through it all.

Directed by Tushar Jalota and produced by Dinesh Vijan, Param Sundari stars Janhvi opposite Sidharth Malhotra and is now slated to release on August 29, 2025 (pushed from its original July date). Whether the shift was due to post-production polish or just some good ol’ box office chess, one thing is clear — the hype machine has started, and this BTS drop is a strategic emotional hook.

With Bheegi Saree already making waves and Janhvi Kapoor showing a side of herself that’s far more real than reel, Param Sundari might just live up to its title as “the biggest love story of the year.”
