Prabhas Vs Arshad Warsi: Bollywood Actor’s Criticism of Prabhas Sparks Strong Reactions from Telugu Heroes!

Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi’s inappropriate comments comparing Prabhas’ look in the movie ‘Kalki 2898 AD‘ to that of a joker have sparked intense controversy. Prabhas’ fans are expressing their outrage, accusing Bollywood of failing due to such ego and jealousy. Telugu heroes have also reacted strongly to Arshad Warsi’s remarks, standing in support of Prabhas. Young heroes Sudheer Babu and Aadi have delivered sharp counters in response. Let’s take a look at the details.

What Exactly Happened?

Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi recently made some remarks during an interview. While discussing the movie ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ he vented his jealousy towards Prabhas. Arshad stated that he had watched ‘Kalki’ but did not like it. He compared Prabhas’ role unfavorably to that of Amitabh Bachchan’s character Ashwatthama, claiming that Prabhas’ presence on screen made him feel bad. “Prabhas… I feel sorry to say this. For some reason, his look resembled that of a joker. I want to see him in a Mad Max-style movie, like Mel Gibson. I still don’t understand why they did this,” Arshad said. Prabhas’ fans have been vocal in their displeasure over these comments.

Sudheer Babu’s Strong Counter!

Telugu hero Sudheer Babu responded to Arshad Warsi’s comments on Prabhas in his unique style. While stating that criticism is not wrong, he condemned Warsi’s loose talk on the social media platform X. Sudheer Babu expressed his surprise that such unprofessional comments would come from someone like Arshad Warsi and asserted that such small-minded comments could never touch a monumental figure like Prabhas. Sudheer Babu’s remarks have also gone viral online, with Prabhas’ fans supporting his stance.

“Perhaps It’s Envy Towards Prabhas”

Young hero Aadi Saikumar also responded to Arshad Warsi’s comments in his own way, indirectly criticizing him without mentioning his name. Aadi wrote on X, “Prabhas is an actor without insecurity. Without him, there wouldn’t even be a Kalki movie. I actually found his role quite amazing. Maybe it’s envy towards him.” This tweet has been widely shared by Prabhas’ fans, who argue that it’s inappropriate to speak ill of someone as genuine as Prabhas.

“It Seems Like the Pain of Fading Out”

Telugu director Ajay Bhupathi’s post on Arshad Warsi’s remarks has also gained attention. He wrote on X, “Prabhas is an actor who gives his all for cinema. He tries to elevate Indian cinema to the next level. I can see the jealousy you have towards him and his films in your eyes. There’s a limit to everything, and there’s a proper way to express your opinions. It seems like you’re hurt by fading out.” It’s worth noting that ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ has grossed over ₹1200 crores worldwide. The film features key roles played by Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone.
