Sudeep Sanjeev, known mononymously as Sudeep, was reportedly speaking to the media at the trailer launch of the film "R: The Deadliest Gangster Ever" when he corrected someone on the use of the term "pan-India" regarding the reach of movies.
Responding to a comment on the recently released blockbuster Kannada movie "K.G.F: Chapter 2", which has done tremendously well even in North India, Mr Sudeep said, "everyone says that a Kannada film was made on a pan-India level but a small correction is that Hindi is not a national language anymore".
Taking a dig at the Hindi film industry, he added that Bollywood produces many pan-India movies that are released in Telugu and Tamil but struggle to find success on the same scale.
