The food chain tagged Ali Fazal as a part of the campaign and the actor seems to be disappointed by the latest advertisement. Ali who played the role of Guddu Bhaiya in the same series asked the food chain to remove their hashtag #Mirzapur2 which they used as a part of the campaign to sell mutton. The actor while showing his disapproval over the ad, wrote, “Thats the most lame advertisement I have come across. You all sound like tharkees, tryna sell Mutton using insinuations. Aur humko tag karke galti kiye. I’d suggest you remove the hashtag if not your creative skills.”
