BENGALURU: As a tribute to its brand ambassador, late Kannada actor Puneeth Rajkumar, the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) is printing the message -- Gandhada Gudi- journey of a true hero -- on all its milk packets for the next 15 days. It started on Friday, the day the movie was released, but on a small scale. “From Saturday, all milk packets will carry the message. This is a tribute from the Federation to the actor. All the 15 milk unions in the state have agreed to this,” KMF officials said.
The KMF sells 40 lakh litres of milk in over 85 lakh milk packets on a daily basis. Some unions are, however, demanding that this be extended for a month. The federation officials are considering the proposal. Fans and citizens across the state have expressed happiness over the gesture. Those who got the first packet took to social media and shared the photos.
