Arshad Warsi Calls Prabhas 'Joker' In Kalki 2898 AD, Fans React Strongly

Kalki 2898 AD: The film Kalki 2898 AD has been hailed as the biggest blockbuster of the year, receiving widespread acclaim for its impressive cast and captivating storyline. However, Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi has a different opinion. A recent video of him criticising Prabhas' character in the film went viral. He described Prabhas' role as 'joker'-like, which sparked significant backlash from Prabhas' fans, although some Reddit users agreed with Warsi's assessment.

In the viral video, Arshad Warsi expressed his disappointment with Kalki 2898 AD. He said, "Maine Kalki dekhi, mujhe toh nhi acchi lagi. Mujhe bahut takleef hoti hai jab (I watched Kalki. Didn't like it. It hurts me when)... Amit ji was unbelievable. I can't understand that man. I swear if we got the power he has, life ban jaae (our lives would be set). He's unreal."

Warsi did not hold back in his critique of Prabhas' performance in the movie. He stated, "Prabhas, I am really sad, why was he... he was like a joker. Why? I want to see a Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there. Tumne usko kya bana dia yaar. Kyu karte ho aisa mujhe nahi samajh mein aata (What have you made of it? Why do they do such things I never understand)."

Reddit users had mixed reactions to Warsi's comments. One user wrote, "The problem with Prabhas' character was not him being a joker. His role didn't intersect with the plot until the last minute, and so whenever his scenes come, it looked odd and boring." Another commented, "Yes, the character was not written exceptionally, but he acted as if he was forced to. No soul, no intent. I've seen Tiger Shroff do better." A third user added, "EXACTLY. They need to read the room and understand that this kinda character doesn't fit the context. The movie was bad anyway but would've been so much better if they just made him an earnest person instead of the try-hard fool that they made of him."

Despite some agreement on Reddit, Prabhas' fans were outraged by Warsi's remarks and took to social media to defend their favourite actor.

Prabhas' Fans React Strongly

Prabhas' fans did not take kindly to Warsi's criticism and flooded his latest Instagram post with angry comments. One fan wrote, "Prabhas movie lightmen remuneration is equal to your collection," while another said, "Prabhas movie collection > Arshad Warsi family net worth." Another comment read, "You can't collect Prabhas movie vehicle parking fee in box office you talk about him ... Bollywood kachra wood karachi wood jihadi gang .... Never underestimate #prabhas man followed by billion hearts. darling of masses."

The controversy surrounding Arshad Warsi's comments on Kalki 2898 AD highlights the strong emotions that films can evoke among fans and critics alike.
