Swapna Dutt Reacts To Arshad Warsi's 'Joker' Statement On Prabhas!

Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi saying Prabhas looked like a 'Joker' in 'Kalki 2898 AD' became a huge controversy. With Telugu heroes like Sharwanand, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Sudheer Babu and others coming in support of the pan-Indian actor, Arshad's words became a national topic on social media and turned into a North Vs South battle.

Recently, the film's director Nag Ashwin himself came to X and wrote, “Let's not go backwards… no more north-south or bolly vs tolly (Bollywood vs Tollywood)… eyes on the bigger picture… united Indian film industry… Arshad saab (sir) should have chosen his words better… but it's ok… sending Buji toys for his kids… I will work hard so tweets… that Prabhas was the best ever in K2 (flexed biceps emoji).”

Reacting to this, 'Kalki 2898 AD' producer Swapna Dutt said, “loved the way Nagi reacted to it. We stayed calm because the film proved for itself what it is. Prabhas was fantastic in the film, as he always is. We've to give it to the magnanimity of Nag Ashwin and Prabhas. They're just so easy on these things. Nagi tweeted recently saying that he will be sending him a toy and work harder for part two. He only wished that he (Arshad) used better language and that makes Nagi who and what he is.”

It all started when the 'Golmaal' actor said, “Amit ji (Amitabh Bachchan) was unbelievable... 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 diya yaar. Kyu karte hain aisa mujhe nahin samajh mein aata (What did you make him? Why do they do such things?)”

As we know, 'Kalki 2898 AD' which was released on 27th June 2024 became a blockbuster earning more than 1100 crores at the box office. It earned around 295 crores in the North market alone. 'Kalki 2' is going to be made soon and there are massive expectations on it.
