Actor Ajay Devgn recently took offence to Kiccha Sudeep’s “Hindi is not our national language” comment.
Reacting to it, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma took Sudeep’s side and wrote, “The base undeniable ground truth @KicchaSudeep sir, is that the north stars are insecure and jealous of the south stars because a Kannada dubbing film #KGF2 had a ₹50 crore opening day.”
Ajay took offence to Sudeep’s statement on Twitter and wrote to him in Hindi, “My brother, if according to you Hindi is not our national language then why do you release your movies in your mother tongue by dubbing them in Hindi? Hindi was, is and always will be our mother tongue and national language. Jan Gan Man.”
Sudeep responded to Ajay, saying, “And sir, I did understand the text you sent in Hindi. That’s only because we all have respected, loved and learnt Hindi. No offense sir, but was wondering what’d the situation be if my response was typed in Kannada!! Don’t we too belong to India, sir.”
Sudeep claimed that his statement was taken out of context and it wasn’t to hurt, provoke or to start any debate. Ajay also buried the hatchet by calling him a ‘friend’.
He tweeted, “Thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding. I’ve always thought of the film industry as one. We respect all languages and we expect everyone to respect our language as well. Perhaps, something was lost in translation.”
