"We know him from his y-front days. Then you gave him a XXL baggy tank top. You made him look fancy in it. We took that one on our chin. But we won’t stand replacing him with some new-gen girl. This nepotistic move to appease Dakini will be fought tooth and nail…." Save Luttappi campaign is getting stronger on social media.
