There is a general perception about the Hindi film industry that the producers here account for Hindi, but praise English. That too is when movies and web series come to these days on the Hindi belt. Especially in the last 15 years, Devanagari's text has been exhausted from dialogues in the movies and scripts. Veteran artist Mukesh Tiwari, who has worked with many in the industry including Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, Ranveer Singh, Danny, gave the reason for this.

Roman Hindi has replaced the Devanagari script

Mukesh Tiwari says, "I have completed 22 years in the industry. Since the stories, dialogues, and screenplays were written on computers, laptops, and mobiles, the Devanagari script has become extinct. Roman Hindi replaced that script. The rest are executives from production houses and corporate studios from English schools and colleges, giving their best. Also, the stars have now stopped asking for scripts in Devanagari. We prefer to stick to the Devanagari script or demand scripts in the Devanagari. Then we ourselves convert the Roman script to the Devanagari script. In the last ten years, I worked with many big stars, but often everyone found themselves comfortable with Roman Hindi.

Still hundreds of mistakes in Hindi pronunciation

The diction coach of 'Dangal', 'Atrangi Re' and 'Ashram', Sunita Sharma says, 'Scripts are provided to actors in films on demand in Devanagari script, but the situation in serials is bad. There the writing remains in Roman Hindi. Nothing is found in the Devanagari script even after asking. Aamir Khan is definitely very careful about pronunciation in films. He ordered the 'Dangal' script in Devanagari's script. Akshay Kumar in 'Atrangi Re' and Aanand L Rai is preferring the Devanagari script.

Sara Ali Khan who is a Bollywood actress hired me for six months to improve her pronunciation. In 'Ashram', Bobby Deol used to make mistakes in pronouncing 'Puratatva', 'Nakaratmak', 'Sakaratmak'. He had to speak most of his dialogues in Sanskritised Hindi. So I was hired. But there is still a lot of difficulties in the overall industry for Hindi and Devanagari script. This is because there are still hundreds of mistakes in the pronunciation of Hindi but no one says anything. If there is a single mistake in the pronunciation of English, it is made to feel that he does not know anything. Due to this ideology, Hindi did not get the place it deserves in the film industry."

Many stars took two years of Hindi training

Actor and trainer Anand Mishra, who regularly teaches Hindi to Star Kids, sheds light on the different aspects. Anand says, "The status of Devanagari writing in this industry is certainly controversial, but starred kids love to learn the Hindi language. If we talk about Varun Dhawan, he spent two years learning Hindi before entering the industry.

Varun Jaishankar Prasad Jackky Bhagnani has now become a big producer in the film industry. As an actor, he used to memorize lines from Muktibodh to improve his Hindi. Another star kid is being launched under the banner of Karan Johar. From October, that film is going to go on floors. He has also been given two years of learning Hindi.

He wrote scripts in Devanagari for Amitabh Bachchan at the time of 'Pa' and for Akshay Kumar during 'Padman'. I did this work for Akshay Kumar during 'Mission Mangal'.
