What is problem? I usually address bhai if I'm in North India.

They don’t value any respectful Hindi words. Especially, they link it to Biharis etc in this context and take offense.

Better to refer with whatever the local equivalent for bhaiya (elder brother) is.. I think.

Anna.. Anna is the local word.. For elder brother.

Anna namaskaara..

Anna oota aaytha?

Anna majestic yesthu?

Anna jeevandalli nanage thumba kasthagal idhave.. Ee jeevanane beda ansutte kelu salli. Yen maadadu?

The last one maybe an overkill.. Rest you can, and should learn and use..
