The unique character of Chellam Sir, and Uday Mahesh’s acting skills, have impressed the fans so much that they have started flooding social media sites like Twitter with quirky memes and hilarious one-liners.

Some people even demanded a spin-off series.

The response has been so huge that even Amazon Prime Video had to respond. "Such is the impact of a character who had less than 15-minute screentime," the OTT platform said in a tweet. Amazon Help's Twitter handle added that all comments will be shared with the makers.
