Pay attention!! ⚠️It’s a tough movie for people in general and it’s a bit difficult to sit through. But trust me what Upi has shown is a universal struggle. The essence, origin, present and dissolution of many things 🌎 means U and I. #UiTheMovie #Upendra #UI https://t.co/4mVTVKbMEj pic.twitter.com/fCFBSg82pt
