Interestingly, Param Sundari has been witnessing a frequent comparison with Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer Chennai Express and there have been speculations if Janhvi-Sidharth's film can beat the latter.

Meanwhile, Janhvi Kapoor had recently addressed the comparisons between Chennai Express and Param Sundari and told Mirchi Plus that while Chennai Express is an iconic movie, the comparison is a generalisation happening from people. Citing the differences, Janhvi stated, "Deepika [Padukone] played a Tamilian in the film, and I play a half-Tamilian, half-Malayali girl. 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".
