Arshad Warsi’s offhand remarks about Prabhas’ performance in Kalki 2898 AD have ignited quite the uproar among fans and stars alike. After a wave of criticism from Sudheer Babu and director Ajay Bhupathi, actor Nani has now jumped into the fray with some scathing wit of his own. During a press conference for his latest film Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, Nani was asked about Arshad’s comments.
Without missing a beat, the actor implied that Arshad’s critique was nothing more than a desperate bid for relevance. “The person that you’re referring to, this must be the most publicity he has got in his life. You are unnecessarily glorifying an unimportant matter,” Nani quipped, turning the question into a comedic dismissal.

He lamented, “I am really sad. Prabhas was like a joker. 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 nahin samajh mein aata (What have you made of it? Why do they do such things? I never understand).
