The Comedy Nights With Kapil star's upcoming film is facing a lot of flak of late...

The Gujarati community has been known worldwide for their good sense of humour and their sharp business sense. Their goofy nature and strong sense of adaptability have ensured that these friendly people have been loved by all. But recently, this community lost their cool over the trailer of an upcoming film, Solid Patels, which portrays the community in a really wrong light.

The sentiments of the otherwise sporty community were hurt with the release of the trailer where they portray Gujaratis as a directionless lot of people who are always looking for ways to scam others. The lead actors in the film, Tom Patel and Jerry Patel, are shown as two useless men who make ridiculous, obnoxious with shocking 'Get-Rich-Quick' schemes to cheat people.

We hear that Gujaratis from all over the world have taken deep offence to the highly stereotypical sneak-peak and are definitely not amused by the humour in the film.
