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.

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. ## Stay tuned...
