Sudarshan had used Yash’s style of a build-up and his dialogues to mimic a funny situation from his college days in a stand-up act from two  years ago. But fans were t happy and got agitated at him on social media. It was so heated that she also shared some screenshots of abusive messs he received  

He wrote on Facebook, "I'd like to thank all people who've come out in support.I am still surprised how an old video has, out of blue, escalated. Upon an initial survey, most of ppl harassing and throwing death threats are young kids between 16 to 23ish, ten to fifteen years younger than me! Many of m have profiles with wallpapers as ir DPs, and have pseudo names with funny adjectives full of spelling mistakes. y don't even speak Kannada properly with 'Aa' and 'Ha' trading positions with great confidence. Many of m have patchy teen moustaches and have probably just learnt how to shave. y are at a phase between teenrs and young adults. I understand hormones go bonkers producing a lot of masculinity at wrong places."

"I respect institution of fan clubs, but re needs to be a clear distinction between being fans and being hooligans, " post read.He continued, "With such ppl, comedy is getting riskier. I think comedy concepts around tables and chairs would t offend anyone. But you never kw, if chair belongs to a star 'die hard fans' would still get offended and rip ir clos apart and start playing PubG with ir tongues. I wish education system had more lessons around how to respect women, how to take a joke, how to speak and or basic etiquettes than math and science... I wish more films projected true essence of masculinity... I wish stars could intervene and educate fans against such behaviour... I wish cyber monitoring laws get stronger than bullies... I can only wish!We are committed to spreading our art and culture through peace and sophistication. With clear intentions, journey will go on..." (sic)

In a post in Kannada, he added, "I have worked with Yash and a fan myself of him. People are mistaking my comment and abusing me badly. I request m t to take joke, very seriously, and stop this trolling immediately. I did to intend to hurt or disrespect anyone." "I am sure your Yash would t approve of your behaviour," he also said.

Sangeetha reacts

Sangeetha, on or hand, wrote, "I usually don't bor for such comments or posts because as far as i have worked for film industry i have only concentrated on giving my best. But this has gone out of hand, people are reaching an all time low, se posts are just a few examples, i hope and wish that Yash would look into this and put an end to this. #yash #radhikapandit.
