Arshad Warsi has finally addressed the controversy surrounding his comment about Prabhas, where he referred to the actor as a “joker” in Kalki 2898 AD. In an interview with India Today, Warsi spoke candidly about how the backlash affected him and whether he has become more cautious with his public remarks.
The actor faced significant criticism from fans and celebrities alike after his comment, with several actors from the Telugu film industry expressing their disapproval. Director Nag Ashwin even responded to the remark with a humorous yet pointed message, suggesting Warsi “should have chosen his words better.”
When asked if the incident has made him more careful about his statements, Warsi quipped, “Absolutely, I’ve decided I will love every film I watch and every actor for the rest of my life.” Despite the controversy, the actor handled the situation with humor, though he admitted that negativity does affect him. “Anything negative does bother a positive person,” he said, adding that being in the limelight comes with its challenges, but he’s learned to cope.
Arshad also addressed rumors that he had disabled comments on his social media accounts, clarifying with a laugh, “I don’t even know how to do that.”
On the work front, Arshad Warsi is gearing up for the release of Jolly LLB 3 and Banda Singh Chaudhary, further proving that he’s moving past the controversy and focusing on entertaining his fans.
