Janhvi Kapoor finds herself at the center of a controversy ahead of her upcoming film Param Sundari, a romantic comedy co-starring Sidharth Malhotra, set to release on August 29. The issue revolves around her portrayal of a Malayali girl and, specifically, her attempt at the Malayalam accent. Critics online have argued that the accent sounded unnatural, sparking debates over authenticity in regional roles.
Singer Pavitra Menon openly criticized the casting choice, suggesting that the filmmakers should have selected a real Malayali actress for the role. She emphasized that language is a key element of culture, and if it is not represented correctly, the portrayal can feel inauthentic. The controversy escalated when a video surfaced showing Janhvi joking about the accent, which quickly went viral and attracted further criticism.
Although Pavitra later deleted her Instagram post, she shared screenshots and reiterated her concerns, fueling an ongoing debate between critics and Janhvi’s fans. Supporters argue that acting is about skill and preparation, and performers should not be limited by their cultural roots. Opponents counter that regional roles are best portrayed by actors familiar with the culture, as it adds credibility to the performance.
For Janhvi, the debate is a mix of challenge and unexpected publicity. While the makers have remained tight-lipped, the controversy has only amplified curiosity around the film. On August 29, audiences will finally see her performance and judge whether her portrayal lives up to the expectations—and whether the hype translates into applause or criticism.
