Kichcha Sudeep talks about Twitter spat with Ajay Devgn over India's national language: 'It wasn't about ego'

Earlier in April, Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn and Kannada star Kichcha Sudeep engaged in a Twitter spat over Hindi being a national language. The spat started after Sudeep stated at an event that "Hindi is no more a national language." India does not have any national language but Hindi and English are official languages used by the Union government. Replying to this, Ajay tagged Sudeep in his tweet, which was written entirely in Hindi and wrote, “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?
