Actor Arshad Warsi recently criticized Prabhas’ performance in the film ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ comparing him to a ‘joker.’
During a recent interview on Samdish’s podcast, Arshad Warsi shared his thoughts on the period drama ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ which was directed by Nag Ashwin. The film, set in a post-apocalyptic future, has received mixed reactions, and Warsi’s comments add to the ongoing debate about its portrayal and style.
Warsi expressed his dissatisfaction with Prabhas‘ appearance in the film, saying, “I watched Kalki 2898 AD which I didn’t like. Mujhe bahut takleef hoti hai jab Amit ji was unbelievable! I cannot understand that man. I swear, jitna power unmein hai, thoda sa mil jaaye toh life ban jaaye.” He was particularly critical of Prabhas, stating, “Prabhas, 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. Tumne usko kya bana diya yaar. Kyun karte hai aisa mujhe nahi samaj mein aata hai.”
Warsi’s remarks highlight his disappointment with the film’s artistic choices and its impact on the portrayal of Prabhas’ character. He suggested that the styling and presentation of Prabhas could have been more aligned with iconic figures like Mel Gibson, known for his role in ‘Mad Max.’
