Kichcha Sudeepa Compares Bollywood's Box Office Struggle With Virat Kohli's Batting Form

Mumbai, July 26 - Pan India actor, Kichcha Sudeepa, who is gearing up for the release of his long-awaited adventure action film "Vikrant Rona", finds a parallel between the box office struggle of Bollywood and cricket legend Virat Kohli's recent batting form.## It is a well-known fact that Bollywood, apart from a few films, has been struggling to deliver hits at the box office, and so is the case with Virat Kohli whose batting form in recent times has dipped. Kichcha Sudeepa, however, came in support of the Bollywood industry when he was asked about the current trend of South films dominating Hindi films. ## "Not that every film is doing great. A couple of films do well, and a couple of films don't. That doesn't mean we generalize and say it's dominating. There are good times for everything and if the Hindi film industry has not been doing great and if it does not have great people, how would you sustain for so many years? It is there".## "It is just a matter of how Virat Kohli is when he is out of form for a while", Sudeepa said at the pre-release event of Vikrant Rona in Mumbai. ## The pre-release event of "Vikrant Rona" was also attended by superstar Salman Khan, who presents the dubbed Hindi version of the film. Actress Jacqueline Fernandez also shared the stage with two actors as she is playing a very important role in the movie that is slated to release in Kannada (original), Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu on July 28, 2022, also in 3D.## Stay tuned...

Indian Actors Kichcha Sudeepa And Ajay Devgn Engage In A Twitter War Of Words Over The Hindi Language

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...
