TOP SOUTH NEWSMAKERS

1. Arshad Warsi-Prabhas controversy

South Newsmakers of Week: Arshad Warsi-Prabhas controversy, Chiranjeevi’s first look from Vishwambhara, Vettaiyan’s release date, and more

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but delve into the recent buzz that’s taken center stage in Bollywood. It all ignited when the talented Arshad Warsi sat for an interview and shared his thoughts on Prabhas and his latest movie, Kalki 2898 AD. In discussing the film, he voiced criticisms towards Prabhas’ role, yet couldn’t help but heap praise upon Amitabh Bachchan’s portrayal of Ashwatthama in the same production. Not long after his comments made waves, numerous actors and industry figures swiftly responded, expressing their disapproval towards Arshad Warsi’s remarks on Prabhas.

Initially, Sudheer Babu, Vishnu Manchu, and Nani strongly criticized Arshad Warsi publicly. But a day later, after his comments about the incident became popular online, the Hi Nanna actor explained that his remarks had been misunderstood, stating they got “lost in translation”.

Instead, we can say: From the opposite perspective, Vishnu Manchu wrote a formal letter expressing his dissatisfaction with the incident and asked CINTAA to recommend that Arshad Warsi avoid making similar comments about other actors in the future.

In my role as a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: As a leader within the Movie Artistes Association, Kannappa recently penned a letter in his capacity as President. Meanwhile, the director of the 2898 AD film, Kalki, has finally spoken up on the issue and opined that Arshad Warsi might have selected more thoughtful words to articulate his perspective.

Actor-cum-politician Thalapathy Vijay brought joy to his supporters by unveiling TVK’s flag and anthem on August 22. Speaking before the audience, he conveyed his feelings and announced thrilling updates about TVK’s first state conference.

As a devoted follower, I’m excited to share that, following ANI’s report, Thalapathy Vijay himself has expressed his anticipation about our upcoming first state conference. He assures us that an announcement regarding this is imminent, and preparations are currently underway. Additionally, he emphasized his desire to eradicate barriers such as caste, religion, gender, and other divisive factors, with the goal of fostering awareness among the masses and advocating for equal opportunities for all.

Their joint appearance at this event sparked curiosity, especially considering the whispers about a potential disagreement between Allu Arjun and Sukumar.
