Earlier, Kannada actor Kichcha Sudeepa, at a trailer launch said, “Someone said Pan India Film was made in Kannada. I would like to make a small correction. Hindi is no more the national language of India. They are doing Pan India films today. They are struggling by dubbing in Telugu and Tamil and not achieving the success. Today we are making films that reach everywhere” the senior actor said.

This statement from Sudeep emerged after Home minister Amit Shah urged the people of India to use Hindi as an alternative language to English. The statement created outrage among the people and political leaders of the country who believe that the country is known for it’s unity in diversity.

Reacting to the statement of Kichcha Sudeepa, Bollywood actor Ajay Devgan who is known for acting in Hindi films for several decades, questioned Sudeep why he is dubbing his films in Hindi if he feels Hindi is not our national language.

He also made a statement saying that Hindi was, is and will be India’s national language. This statement from Ajay irked many users of online platforms who came up with comments slamming him for his baseless claim.
