Bollywood movies for long have stereotyped South Indians and our films, We hoped and thought Shah Rukh Khan's Chennai Express would be different specially after SRK's recent visit to Chennai, but we were all wrong.Deepika Padukone accent as a South Indian in the trailer was absolutely horrendous , we have never come across any south Indian speaking Tamil in such a accent.
The entire Twitter fraternity expressed their sheer disbelief and outrage over Deepika's Tamil accent in the movie, However only few Celebrities like Chinmayi and Archana Kalapathi CEO of AGS Cinemas came out and shared their thoughts on the Chennai Express Trailer..
#ChennaiExpress I thought SRK likes chennai!!..Super confused as to what language deepika is speaking!! @chinmayi is that tamil??

For gods sake... why people cant take a movie as a movie.. This is the reason INDIA is still sitting in the docks... pls... He hasnt commented on any tamilian till now. I myself am a tamilian from Coimbatore. I am not saying this to support SRK or the Chennai Express team. This was the same exaggeration posed by people during the release of Vishwaroopam. Watch the movie and leave it in the theaters. It is not meant to be taken to the heart. They are entertainers. Thats their duty. The get paid. We wond get paid a penny commenting on this. Pls if people have so much hatred towards this pls do not even comment on Chennai Express. It means u care a bit and u care a bit by reading. Pls this is stupidity. We south indians should be a bit educated.
