Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor upcoming romantic drama Param Sundari trailer have been praised by fans, however their movie is also constantly getting troll by viewers of Kerala.

Janhvi plays a Malayali girl from Palakkad in the cross cultural romance. Many have criticised her portrayal as being excessive and cliched.

Malayalam actor singer Pavithra Menon blasted the movie's producers on Thursday. Steffi, a content creator, has now echoed the sentiment and received a lot of support on the internet.

Steffi, who has a well known Instagram account called @stuffwithsteffi, posted a video on Friday in which she analysed the Param Sundari trailer, focussing on Janhvi's portrayal of her character Sundari.

By placing flowers on her head at the start of the video, Steffi made fun of the movie's clichéd portrayal of Malayalis, stating, "Before I begin, I need to look like a Malayali." Bollywood says this is it.

Reacting to Janhvi's character's comically long name and appearance, the creator added, "Not everyone in Kerala has a long name. It can't get more stereotypical than this. It would have been best if the character was from Chennai, because she looks Tamilian."
