Having portrayed English-speaking Indian characters in British and American projects, I have always wanted to use my mother tongue in an Indian film.

Tollywood has a special place in my heart because Telugu is my mother tongue, and when I sing in the language, my mom feels really happy.

Mother language at home, regional language in State, national language in Country, medium language at school, 2nd language at school, professional language at work, language for girl friend, language for travel and like on the need of learning multiple language is ever growing. - Devaski

I think in my mother tongue. That's Hindi.

I learnt to sing in Bengali, my mother tongue, then went on to sing in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati and every possible Indian language.

For us Indians, I don't think English can ever exude that magic of emotions which our mother tongue can.
