How Amul made their stand
Amul shared a new cartoon titled 'Jalli Good'. The doodle features the mascot holding a butter brick in a plate as she cuts it with a knife, as the protagonist also, holds a butter smeared knife. The protagonist is seen standing aside a buffalo as they both eye on the Oscar trophy in the backdrop, and celebrate the nomination to the international awards.
Giving the scenario a twist, it also have an additional text on it reading, "Kattu a piece of butter?"
Jallikattu, India's official Oscar entry
