FollowArshad Warsi's remark regarding Prabhas' role in Kalki 2898 AD caused controversy as several fans were divided over it.

In a recent interview with India Today, Arshad revealed that the criticism affected him initially; however, with time, he learned to ignore it. He also opened up about dealing with hate and the negative aspects of being a celebrity for the first time.
Arshad Warsi said, “Honestly, it’s okay. Everyone has their point of view. Also, it’s a democratic country, and everyone is allowed to speak in it. If you are a positive person, anything negative does bother you. However, we have been at a place where stones are thrown, so it doesn’t bother me anymore."
After the incident, Warsi was questioned about whether he had turned off comments on his Instagram account. He admitted that he had no idea how to do so. The actor was also asked if he is now more careful about what he says in public. He jokingly said, “Absolutely, I have decided that I will love every film that I watch. I will love every actor for the rest of my life.”
The Dhamaal actor was also asked about whether the controversy was a clever PR move to promote his upcoming film Bandaa Singh Chaudhary. Warsi added that he had no idea when the incident occurred or when the film would be released. He went on to say that while random people sometimes create such conflicts to generate disputes their outcomes can never be planned.
