Language Is for Communication, Not Conflict Says Ashutosh Rana On Language Row

Veteran actor Ashutosh Rana recently weighed in on the ongoing language dispute in Maharashtra during the trailer launch of his upcoming film Heer Express. Addressing the controversy, Rana emphasized the importance of unity and understanding, stating that language should be used as a tool for communication, not division. "Language is always a subject of communication, never a subject of conflict," he said, reflecting on the inclusive spirit of India.

 

Rana's remarks come at a sensitive time, as the state faces escalating tensions over the three-language policy. The Mira-Bhayandar region has become a flashpoint for protests and political unrest, with clashes reportedly emerging between Hindi and Marathi-speaking communities. Amid the rising unease, Rana’s message stood out as a call for harmony, rooted in mutual respect and dialogue. “India has never believed in conflict. It believes in trust and conversation,” he affirmed.

 

The actor was speaking at the trailer launch of Heer Express, a family drama set to release on August 8, 2025. The film brings together a diverse cast, including Divita Juneja, Pritt Kamani, Sanjay Mishra, Gulshan Grover, and Meghna Malik. The film promises to blend emotional storytelling with moments of humor and reflection, and is expected to strike a chord with audiences across linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

 

In a country as linguistically rich and diverse as India, Rana’s comments serve as a timely reminder of the role of cinema — and public figures — in fostering dialogue and national unity. As Heer Express rolls into theatres next month, it not only offers entertainment but also arrives amid a broader conversation about identity, language, and coexistence.
