Arshad Warsi Reacts On Controversy Regarding His Comments On Prabhas' Look In Kalki 2898 AD

Mumbai, September 29 - Recently, Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi ignited a controversy after commenting on the characterization of Prabhas in the magnum opus Kalki 2898 AD. While the movie was a massive box office success, Warsi said that he didn't like Prabhas's look or the movie.

"Maine Kalki dekhi, mujhe toh nhi acchi lagi. Mujhe bahut takleef hoti hai jab (I watched Kalki and didn't like it. It hurts me when)... Prabhas, I am really sad, why was he... he was like a joker. Why? I want to see a Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there. What have you made of it? Why do they do such things? I never understand", the actor had said in a podcast interview.



While director Nag Ashwin took Arshad's comments sportingly and promised to come up with a better version of Prabhas in Kalki 2, the fans of the superstar called out the Jolly LLB actor for allegedly disrespecting him. Now, after a month, Arshad has responded to the controversy. He said that Prabhas is a very good actor but it was disappointing to see him in Kalki 2898 AD.

"Everybody has their point of view and people like to interpret noise. I spoke about the character, not the person. He (Prabhas) is a brilliant actor and he has proved himself again and again, and we know about it. And, when we give a bad character to a good actor, it's heartbreaking for the audience", the actor told PTI at IIFA 2024.

Meanwhile, Arshad Warsi will next be seen in Jolly LLB 3 along with Akshay Kumar. The movie has completed shooting and is scheduled to be released in April 2025.
