Is there more to Ajay Devgn’s outburst?

Does the language row between Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn and Kannada actor Kiccha Sudeep have anything to do with Bollywood’s insecurity about the growing financial muscle of the regional film industry that is reshaping the contours of the Indian film market, both at home and abroad?

Perhaps, former Karnataka Chief Minister, H D Kumaraswamy, while responding to Devgn’s “Hindi is our mother tongue and national language” comment, articulated this sentiment the best.
