During a press conference for his new film *Saripodhaa Sanivaara*, Nani responded to questions about Warsi’s remarks, saying, “This must be the most publicity he has ever received in his life.” The *Eega* star also remarked, “You’re unnecessarily inflating an insignificant issue.”
For those who need some context, Arshad Warsi recently appeared on Samdish Bhati’s podcast, *Unfiltered by Samdish*, where he expressed his dislike for the film *Kalki 2898 AD*. While he praised Amitabh Bachchan’s performance, he criticized the lead actor Prabhas, describing his character as a “joker.” On the show, Warsi commented, “I watched *Kalki* and didn’t like it. It pains me when Amit ji was unbelievable.”
Regarding Prabhas, Warsi remarked, “Prabhas, I’m really disappointed—he was like a joker. I was hoping for something like Mad Max. Instead, what did you make of it? I don’t understand why they do such things.”
