Ajay Devgn’s Controversies

• Hindi Language Remark Controversy

Politicians and media personalities are outraged by the national debate that has been triggered by Sudeep and Ajay Devgn’s disagreement over Hindi as the national language. Sudeep’s comment, “You mentioned a Kannada-language all-India film,” set off the crisis. I want to make a very small correction. Hindi is no longer a national language.

These days, we create movies that are viewed globally. He was talking about how well-liked KGF 2 was in Kannada throughout the nation.
