Arshad Warsi recently spoke about Kalki 2898 AD and revealed that he did not like the movie. While Warsi praised Amitabh Bachchan's terrific performance in the film, he said he felt Prabhas looked like a 'joker' in the film. In response, director Ajay Bhupathi has harshly condemned Warsi's remarks about Prabhas.
Taking to his X, Ajay wrote, "#Prabhas is the man who has given everything & will do anything to take Indian Cinema to the world audience, a Pride of our nation."
"We can see the jealousy on that film, on him in your eyes just because you've faded out & no one gives an eye to you. There's a limit & a way to express our opinion... Seems like you're the one that you've said about him," he concluded.

In a new podcast interview with Samdish Bhatia, Arshad said, "Prabhas, I am really sad. Why was he? He was like a joker. Why? 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 nahi samajh mein aata (What have you made of it? Why do they do such things? I never understand)."
