Mumbai, April 27 - Actors Ajay Devgn and Kichcha Sudeepa had a war of words on Twitter regarding language's impact on movies.## Ajay Devgn reacted to Kichcha's statement on pan India movies in which Kichcha Sudeepa said Hindi is not the national language of India. Ajay took this statement seriously and took to Twitter and asked Sudeepa why is he dubbing his movies to Hindi then. ## An hour later Kichcha Sudeepa warmly replied that he loves and respects Hindi and that's why he understands the language and asked Ajay if he replied in Kannada would he be able to understand and respond.## Fight over Hindi language status is quite common in the southern states. Many times people protest based on the national language. That is the main reason why the constitution of India hasn't declared Hindi as the national language. But Hindi is spoken by a majority of people in India and along with English, it is used as the language for official purposes. Any person is eligible to select any language as a medium to convey his / her thoughts.## Every regional language has love and respect and everyone loves their mother tongue. The war of words culminated in Ajay Devgn admitting he had a misunderstanding and Sudeepa letting him know that there's no issue it happens sometimes and both of them ended the conversation on a positive note.## Stay tuned...
