Well I could care less who its catered for, all I know is Punjabi's have been stereotyped for way too long, and it needs to end. I'm really glad that Punjabi movie industry is picking up recently with the success of Dharti and Jinne Mera Dil Lutteya, but we have a long way to go. I know Akshay is trying to represent Punjabi's worldwide, but I've always felt that the Deols have used Punjabis to their advantage, and now Akshay is doing the same. They know the Punjabi audience will watch their movies, and they milk it. I'd like to see genuine Punjabi characters, and Punjabi actors representing Punjabis. I like Akshay, but he found a hit formula with Singh is King, and he keeps going down that path, but i don't think it should be encouraged. They make Punjabis look like idiots with their nonsense acts in movies like Singh is King and Yamla Pagla Deewana, which is unacceptable!
