NDTV
Two former Karnataka Chief Ministers - Congress's Siddaramaiah and Janata Dal (Secular)'s HD Kumaraswamy - directly attacked the Bollywood actor, calling him a BJP mouthpiece.
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma today jumped into the debate over Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn's assertion that Hindi is India's national language by referring to "an undeniable ground truth" about "north stars". 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 and we all are going to see the coming opening days of Hindi films
Citing the recently released blockbuster Kannada movie "K.G.F: Chapter 2", which has done tremendously well even in North India, Mr Varma accused Bollywood actors of being "insecure and jealous" on the success of their southern counterparts.
"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 and we all are going to see the coming opening days of Hindi films," Mr Varma, who has directed Bollywood movies like Company and Sarkar, said in a Twitter post.
