Nani on Arshad Warsi joker comments on Prabhas. nArshad Warsi's recent comments about Prabhas' acting in "Kalki 2898 AD" have sparked widespread criticism, with actor Nani joining the chorus of dissent. During a press conference for his latest film, "Saripodhaa Sanivaaram," Nani dismissed Arshad's opinions, calling them "unimportant" and stating that they were generating more publicity for Arshad than anything else.
"The person you are referring to, this must be the most publicity he has got in his life," Nani said. "You are unnecessarily glorifying an unimportant matter."
This isn't the first instance of criticism directed at Arshad's comments. Earlier, actor Sudheer Babu also voiced his disapproval, saying, "It's okay to criticize constructively, but it's never okay to bad-mouth. Never expected the absence of professionalism from Arshad Warsi. Prabhas' stature is too big for comments coming from small minds."
Arshad's controversial remarks were made during a podcast interview with Samdish Bhatia. He expressed disappointment with Prabhas' portrayal in the film, comparing it to a "joker" and expressing his desire for a more "Mad Max" style performance. His comments went viral on social media, drawing ire from many Prabhas fans.
Despite the backlash, "Kalki 2898 AD" achieved massive commercial success upon its release in July, grossing over ₹1100 crore worldwide. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the film features a star-studded cast including Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan.
Arshad Warsi, known for his roles in films like "Munna Bhai MBBS" and "Golmaal," was last seen in the web series "Asur" and "Modern Love Mumbai." He is set to appear next in "Jolly LLB 3" alongside Akshay Kumar.
