Ayushmann Khurrana's 'Anek' trailer draws attention amid language row

A 30-second long scene from the trailer is making rounds on the internet where Khurrana's character is seen conversing with a man, hailing from Telangana, in a car. The light-hearted conversation turns into thought-provoking when the man guesses Khurrana belongs from the North Indian region to which the latter responds, ''So, Hindi decides who is from North and South?'' The man was quick to say no which further leads Khurrana to deliver a hard-hitting dialogue, ''So, It's not about Hindi, either.''

This particular scene has proven to be quite relevant in the wake of recent events where two prominent actors engaged in a hard-hitting back-and-forth on Twitter sparking a National language debate. 

Netizens' reaction to 'Anek's dialogue

The scene was shared several times on Twitter with netizens pointing out the relevance of the dialogue concerning the ongoing debate. One netizen wrote, ''Sirf INDIAN kaise hota hai aadmi?” What a ZABARDAST trailer of #ANEK!

While another wrote, ''An attempt to unite India. So relevant considering the times we live in where India feels so divided and fragmented. #Anek deserves our attention. All the very best to the actor and director who've made my favourite movies. @ayushmannk @anubhavsinha''. A few had varying opinion as one netizen believed that the dialogues could have been written better.
