However, it wasn\u2019t the languages that dominated trends and conversations online, but Vimal. Yes, it is the tobacco-based product that netizens used to poke a jibe at Devgn.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>For the uninitiated, it all started on Wednesday, when the Singham actor tagged Sudeep and asked why he releases his films dubbed in Hindi if he considers it not to be the national language. Devgn was reacting to the Kannada star\u2019s previous remarks where Sudeep spoke about pan-Indian films at an event and said that <strong>\u201cHindi is no more a national language.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHindi is our mother tongue, and our national language, and it will always be. Jana Gana Mana,\u201d Devgn tweeted in Hindi.<\/p>\n<p>Clearing the air, Sudeep said his remark reached the Hindi film star without context and added that the statement wasn\u2019t meant to \u201churt, provoke or to start any debate\u201d. In a follow-up tweet, he also said: \u201cI love and respect every language of our country sir. I would want this topic to rest\u201d. However, sticking to his stand, Sudeep said he understands the text Devgn sent in Hindi but wondered what would have happened if he had replied in his mother tongue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo offense sir, but was wondering what\u2019d the situation be if my response was typed in kannada.!! Don\u2019t we too belong to India sir,\u201d he added. And even though the two actors finally came on the same page and blamed the controversy as a misunderstanding calling it \u201clost in translation\u201d, netizens were not done yet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7891114\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/gp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/vimal-trend.jpg\" alt width=\"580\" height=\"322\"><\/p>\n<p>Soon, Vimal took over Twitter, eclipsing all trends, with people again targetting Devgn for supporting the tobacco based product, sharing memes, similar to those they used to criticise Akshay Kumar in the recent past. Although Devgn did clarify that he wasn\u2019t promoting gutka but only participated in the ad for Vimal Elaichi, netizens highlighted that\u2019s exactly how surrogate advertising works, in the guise of another product.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to Devgn\u2019s remark to why South Indian films are being dubbed in Hindi, fans asked why his ads were dubbed in other languages. Many highlighted that there are several regional languages that are recognised by the Indian Constitution, urged Devgn to stop endorsing tobacco products.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">First answer this\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Why u dubbed ur vimal AD in kannada\u2026?#VikrantRona pic.twitter.com\/THkgodt1rV<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SAVAGE KING DAMON (@SavageKingDamon) April 27, 2022<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Then What abt Your Vimal Paan other languages dubbing ad ?
