CINTAA President Reacts To Arshad Warsi Comments On Prabhas

CINTAA president reacts to Arshad Warsi comments on Prabhas.The controversy surrounding Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi's comments about Prabhas' character in "Kalki 2898 AD" continues to simmer, with MAA President Vishnu Manchu urging CINTAA President Poonam Dhillon to take action.

In a recent interview, Poonam Dhillon confirmed that she will reach out to Arshad Warsi, seeking clarification for his comments and aiming to address any hurt caused. While acknowledging that Arshad's critique was aimed at the character and not Prabhas as a person, Poonam emphasized the importance of unity within the industry. She stressed that Arshad's comments were insensitive, especially given Prabhas' esteemed position in the film fraternity.

Poonam's intervention comes after Vishnu Manchu's letter, requesting CINTAA's intervention in the matter. The controversy erupted when Arshad, in a podcast, expressed disappointment with Prabhas' portrayal in "Kalki," calling it "a joker" and questioning the film's direction.

This criticism ignited outrage among fans and several prominent Telugu actors, including Nani, Sudheer Babu, Sharwanand, Kalki director Nag Ashwin, and RX 100 director Ajay Bhupathi, who condemned Arshad's remarks as insensitive.

Poonam Dhillon's decision to step in signifies the seriousness of the issue and the need for dialogue within the film industry. Whether Arshad's comments were intentional or not, the controversy has highlighted the potential for unintended hurt and the importance of respectful discourse within the film fraternity.
