The highly anticipated digital debut of "Kalki 2898 AD," starring Prabhas, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix on August 22, 2024. The global sensation has been generating buzz, but recent controversy surrounding the film has overshadowed the excitement.
Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi's disparaging remarks about Prabhas, calling him a "joker," have sparked outrage and backlash from fans, celebrities, and the Telugu film industry.
Telugu actor Sudheer Babu, brother-in-law of Mahesh Babu, took to X to address the controversy. He stated, "Constructive criticism is welcome, but disparaging comments are not. I am surprised by the lack of professionalism from Arshad Warsi. Prabhas's stature is too significant for such remarks from smaller minds."
Warsi's comments have ignited a debate about professionalism and respect in the industry. While some may argue that Warsi's remarks were meant as a joke, many view them as disrespectful and unprofessional, especially considering Prabhas's significant contribution to Indian cinema.
As the controversy continues to escalate, it remains to be seen how Arshad Warsi will respond to the criticism. With the film's digital premiere approaching, it will be interesting to see how this controversy impacts the film's reception and its potential success.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.
