Arshad Warsi on Prabhas’ joker comment controversy: ‘I will love every actor for the rest of my life’

As a long-time admirer of Arshad Warsi’s talent and charisma, I must say I was taken aback by the recent controversy surrounding his comments about Prabhas in Kalki 2898 AD. However, after listening to his heartfelt response during the India Today Digital chat, my respect for him has only grown.


Arshad Warsi found himself in a public dispute following his remarks about Prabhas’ character in Nag Ashwin’s film Kalki 2898 AD. His words didn’t go down well with fans and led to strong backlash from multiple sources. But during an interview with India Today Digital, Arshad admitted that he was initially taken aback by the negativity he encountered, though such matters no longer concern him.

In simpler terms, the actor from Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. stated that every person has the right to their own viewpoint, and given our democratic society, people are free to voice their thoughts. He added, “If you maintain a positive outlook, negative comments may still affect you. But since we’ve faced tough times where insults were thrown, it no longer bothers me.

When questioned if the event had influenced him to be more mindful of his public statements, the actor acknowledged that it indeed had. However, instead of saying he would be more careful, he expressed, “Indeed, from now on, I will appreciate every movie I watch wholeheartedly and cherish every actor for eternity.

If you haven’t heard about this recent debate, it began when Arshad made an appearance on Samdish Bhatia’s YouTube channel and discussed the film Kalki 2898 AD. While he praised Amitabh Bachchan’s performance, his comment regarding Prabhas was less than flattering. He described him as resembling a “comic book character” in the movie.

He said, “Prabhas, I am really sad; why was he? He was like a joker. Why? I want to see Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there.”

Following the recent event, I, as a lifestyle expert, find it important to address some misunderstandings. Director Nag Ashwin and actor Nani have publicly expressed their disapproval of Arshad’s remarks. However, in an earlier media conversation, Arshad himself explained that his comments were intended for the character he portrayed, not the individual themselves. This clarification helps us understand the context better.

In the days to come, you can expect Arshad’s new film, titled Bandaa Singh, to make its way to cinemas starting on October 25th.
