Arshad Warsi Calls Prabhas A ‘Brilliant’ Actor As He Finally REACTS To His Joker Comment On Kalki 2898 AD Star, Says ‘Everybody Has Their POV’
Arshad Warsi is back in the spotlight, and this time it’s to clarify his recent comments about Prabhas. The actor sparked controversy after suggesting that Prabhas was “used as a joker” in the film Kalki 2898 AD.
This comment did not sit well with fans or some members of the South Indian film industry. Now, Warsi is taking a moment to set the record straight.
Kalki 2898 AD was released earlier this year and generated a lot of buzz. Many celebrities praised the Nag Ashwin directorial for its grandeur. Warsi watched the film and shared his mixed feelings about it. While he appreciated certain elements, he also voiced his criticism, especially regarding Prabhas’s portrayal.
After facing backlash online, Warsi felt compelled to clarify his comments. He explained that his remarks were directed solely at the character Prabhas played, not at the actor himself.
Arshad Warsi Has THIS To Say About His Joker Comment On Prabhas
Speaking to PTI, he stated, “Everybody has their own point of view, and people like to interpret noise. I spoke about the character, not the person. He is a brilliant actor, and he has proved himself again and again. We know about it. When we give a bad character to a good actor, it’s heartbreaking for the audience.”
Here’s What Arshad Warsi Told About Prabhas Back Then
Warsi’s original comments were made during an interview on the YouTube channel Unfiltered by Samdish. He compared the film to a Mad Max-like vibe and expressed disappointment over Prabhas’s role. “I am really sad, but why was he like a joker? Why? I want to see a Mad Max yaar. I want to see Mel Gibson over there. What have you made it? Why do filmmakers do this? I will never understand,” he said.
His comments were met with mixed reactions. While some fans supported him, others felt that his remarks were unfair to Prabhas, who has a massive fan base. Warsi’s clarification seems aimed at calming the waters and redirecting the conversation back to the film’s overall quality.
