Nag Ashwin FINALLY Breaks Silence On Arshad Warsi’s ‘Prabhas Looks Joker In Kalki’ Comment: ‘Should Have Chosen His Words Better’
Arshad Warsi‘s recent comments on Kalki 2898 AD have sparked a new round of Bollywood vs Tollywood debates, stirring up controversy among fans. The actor’s critique of the film, particularly his remarks on Prabhas’ performance, hasn’t sat well with many, especially fans of the South Indian superstar.
Warsi expressed his disappointment during a podcast, praising Amitabh Bachchan’s role but criticising Prabhas, saying, “Prabhas, I am really sad, but he was like a joker. I wanted to see a Mad Max; I wanted to see Mel Gibson over there.”
These comments led to a wave of backlash on social media, with Prabhas’ ardent followers—known as “darlings”—flooding Twitter with demands for an apology from Warsi. The controversy reignited the age-old Bollywood vs South Indian cinema debate, with fans on both sides passionately defending their favourite stars and industries.

Nag Ashwin, the director of Kalki 2898 AD, responded to the controversy with a calm and peace-promoting approach. Rather than escalating the situation, Ashwin took to Twitter to ask for unity within the Indian film industry.
He acknowledged Warsi’s words, suggesting that the actor could have chosen them more wisely, but he also urged everyone to move beyond the north-south divide that often sparks such debates.
“Let’s not go backwards,” Ashwin tweeted. “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 4 his kids… I’ll work hard so tweets fdfs that Prabhas was the best ever in K2.”

Ashwin’s response didn’t stop there. When a fan expressed anger towards Warsi’s comments, the filmmaker once again took the high road, urging fans to avoid adding to the negativity. “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,” he tweeted, adding a heart emoji to emphasise his message of peace.
