Nag Ashwin REACTS to Arshad Warsi’s 'Joker' comment on Prabhas over Kalki 2898 AD, ‘Too much hate…’

As a film enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the magic of celluloid dreams, I must say that the ongoing controversy surrounding Arshad Warsi’s comment about Prabhas’ performance in Kalki 2898 AD is indeed intriguing. Being part of this vibrant global community where cinema transcends geographical boundaries, I have witnessed firsthand the power of art and the impact it can have on people’s lives.


Arshad Warsi’s comment about labeling Prabhas as a joker for his role in Kalki 2898 AD sparked a lot of discussion online. This remark ignited a heated debate, leading some to question the appropriateness of Arshad’s words. Now, amidst all the uproar surrounding this controversy, the director of the film, Nag Ashwin, has voiced his thoughts on the matter.

On his post about the current discussion regarding Prabhas being labeled as a joker for his acting in Kalki 2898 AD, Nag Ashwin expressed his thoughts. (paraphrased from “Nag Ashwin wrote on his account on X (formerly Twitter) his reaction to the ongoing debate where Prabhas was called a joker for his performance in Kalki 2898 AD by Arshad Warsi.”)

The director stepped in, maintaining an impartial position, and made clear that the matter at hand was not about pitting Bollywood against South films. However, he underscored the importance of Arshad Warsi selecting more thoughtful language when voicing his opinions.

He wrote, “Let’s not go backwards.. no more north-south or bolly vs. tolly. Eyes on the bigger picture. United Indian Film Industry. Arshad Saab should have chosen his words better..but it’s ok..sending buji toys to his kids..il work hard so tweets fdfs that Prabhas was the best ever in K2.”

In his latest update about topic X, Nag Ashwin urged people not to fuel more negativity regarding this issue and instead opt to disregard it. Moreover, he hinted that Prabhas too might choose to overlook such matters in the same way.

He penned, “Too much hate in the world already bro…we can try not to add to it..I know prabhas garu will also feel the same..”

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my thoughts on the recent turn of events. Following Arshad Warsi’s controversial statement about the magnificent Prabhas that spread like wildfire, the esteemed Vishnu Manchu, president of MAA (Movie Artists Association), penned an open letter to Poonam Dhillon, the head of CINETAA (Cine & TV Artists Association). In this heartfelt missive, he voiced his deep disappointment over Arshad’s remark about our beloved Prabhas.

As a die-hard admirer of both Vishnu Manchu and the vibrant Telugu cinema scene, I couldn’t help but feel a shared dismay when Arshad’s choice of words about Prabhas in Kalki 2898 AD stirred up some disappointment. It seemed like an underappreciation of the sheer talent that our beloved star possesses, and as a fan, it was tough to see. However, I still believe in the power of dialogue and understanding, and I’m hopeful that this issue will be addressed with grace and maturity by all parties involved.
