(I saw Kalki 2898 AD but did not like it)." Speaking about Prabhas, he said, "I am really sad but he was like a Joker. I want to see a Mad Max yaar. Kyon karte hai aisa mujhe nahi samajh aata hai (Why have they made it like this. Why do filmmakers do this, I will never understand)." Soon after Arshad Warsi shared his opinion regarding Prabhas and the film, fans took over social media and reacted to it. One of the users called out Arshad Warsi for choosing the right words while criticising the film. While another user wrote, 'Sick mentality". Check out their reactions.

It's okay to review or criticize any movie as an audience, but the words chosen by Mr. Arshad Warsi ji do not fall under constructive criticism. He should choose his words wisely.

Agreed, constructive criticism is the need of the hour. It's not that whatever Prabhas makes is right, but he knew about the course correction and I'm sure he will do if required.

‘Arshad Should Have Blamed the Director More Than the Actor’
Arshad is a good actor ,no doubt, and he has a right to keep his opinions about a movie , but he should know that an actor plays the part as per the vision of the director, so Arshad should have blamed the director more than the actor .

Maybe!
I think he just wanted to see Prabhas in better character, he expected Bhairava to be more stoic character and not fun individual.
Maybe misinterpreted by edit.
