Arshad Warsi’s controversial remark where he called Prabhas a "joker" for his performance in Kalki 2898 AD gathered much attention on the internet. It created an instant debate, and many even questioned the Bollywood actor’s choice of words. And now, amid much hue and cry over the controversy, the director of the film, Nag Ashwin, has shared his opinion on the same.

Taking to his account on X (formerly Twitter), Nag Ashwin penned his reaction to the ongoing debate around Prabhas being called a joker for his performance in Kalki 2898 AD by Arshad Warsi.

The director intervened with a neutral stance and expressed how it wasn’t a question of debate between Bollywood and South films. Nevertheless, he emphasized that Arshad Warsi must have chosen better words to express his viewpoint.

He wrote, “Let's not go backwards.. no more north-south or bolly vs. tolly. Eyes on the bigger picture. United Indian Film Industry. Arshad Saab should have chosen his words better..but it's ok..sending buji toys to his kids..il work hard so tweets fdfs that Prabhas was the best ever in K2.”


In yet another post on X, Nag Ashwin also commented on how the netizens must not spread more hate on the matter and simply choose to ignore the subject. Furthermore, he even mentioned how Prabhas himself would also have let go of such a matter.
