Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has expressed his views on the ongoing debate over Hindi as the national language of India, which started after a Twitter exchange between the two countries. Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn and Kannada star Kiccha Sudeep. Ayushmann, who is currently garnering praise for his newly released film Anek, based on the political struggles of Northeast India, said that India It is home to different cultures and languages and so “we can’t really put one language at the forefront.”
When we asked Ayushmann about his stand on the ongoing debate, the actor said, “I really don’t know what should be the criteria for whether the newest language should be the national language or the oldest language should be the national language. It’s about what you like in your language. We cannot put any one language at the forefront whether it is old, new or a mixture of languages. This is not that country. Hindi is a mixture of many languages. Like colloquial language, we usually mix three languages- Hindi, English and Urdu. It is like a buffet of languages in our country so every language and culture is important.”
Meanwhile, for many, Ayushmann has teamed up with director Anubhav Sinha for the second time. The pair had earlier worked in the acclaimed film Article 15. “We keep jamming on different topics. Over the years, we have been in touch with each other regarding various topics and opportunities. We discussed this topic during the shooting of Article 15. He finally wrote a script and I got excited and we went ahead with it,” said the actor.
He further added, “The soul of the film is the same. It is an extension of Article 15 for me as it is about an issue. It is again an issue of discrimination. But last time, it was about casteism. This time it is about an issue. It’s about racism. It’s a different environment but it’s territory unknown to us. It’s even more challenging.”
Over the years, Ayushmann has taken on stories that do not easily become the subject of mainstream cinema. From Vicky Donor and Dum Laga Ke Haisha to Badhaai Ho and Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Ayushmann has successfully established a distinct genre for his cinema, which not only talks about important issues, but with utmost sincerity and honesty. deals with them.
Does he feel responsible as a performer beyond his part in these socially relevant films? Ayushmann said, “I’ve done a few films on the LGBTQ+ community, and of course, behind the scenes, I do some work, but I don’t need to say it on camera. Now at the same time, it’s an artist’s work as well. It is if you are working selflessly on a particular subject because historically the films which are completely contrary to the common belief do not perform well on the big screen like Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan. Rs 10 crore but did not make Rs 100 crore This is also true with Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui. I really feel for those topics but I also know they are huge risks because they are the exact opposite of popular orthodox belief.
“For me, it is a big step for an artist and the same goes with Article 15 or many. You cannot see them with a commercial lens or gaze. I think that if an artist is doing three films a year and is also becoming more interested in social issues that go beyond the commercial scope of the stereotypical way of prototyping a commercial hit, it is better to express or support a community or cause. is my way of doing it. ,” concluded Ayushmann.
