At a time when regional cinema barrier is being erased at an astonishing pace, it is strange to see two renowned actors from different industries quarrel on this topic. The said incident involves RRR actor, Ajay Devgan, and Eega actor, Kiccha Sudeep. The former is terribly upset and here’s why.
In his recent interview, Sudeep said “Hindi is no more the national language. Bollywood is making pan-India films today but they are struggling to find audience in Telugu and Tamil. Our South Indian films are going everywhere.”
Sudeep’s comment has irked RRR star Ajay Devgan as he tweeted “Kiccha Sudeep my brother, According to you if Hindi is not our national language then why do you release your mother tongue movies by dubbing them in Hindi? Hindi was, is and always will be our mother tongue and national language Jan Gan Man.”
Netizens are now commenting that firstly, it isn’t right on Sudeep’s part to belittle Bollywood. If South Indian films are doing well in Hindi, he should appreciate the audience rather than humiliate Hindi film industry. As for Ajay Devgan, he should have ignored Sudeep’s comment at a time when Hindi imposition is a burning political topic across India.
.@KicchaSudeep मेरे भाई,
आपके अनुसार अगर हिंदी हमारी राष्ट्रीय भाषा नहीं है तो आप अपनी मातृभाषा की फ़िल्मों को हिंदी में डब करके क्यूँ रिलीज़ करते हैं?
हिंदी हमारी मातृभाषा और राष्ट्रीय भाषा थी, है और हमेशा रहेगी।
