Days after Arshad Warsi slammed Prabhas' portrayal in Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD, actor and former professional badminton player Sudheer Babu critisized Arshad Warsi for his "harsh" words. Sudheer Babu wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), "It's okay to criticize constructively but it's never okay to bad-mouth. Never expected the absence of professionalism from Arshad Warsi. Prabhas's stature is too big for comments coming from small minds.." For the unversed, Arshad Warsi said on the podcast show with Samdish Bhatia, "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)." Take a look:
It's okay to criticize constructively but it's never okay to bad-mouth. Never expected the absence of professionalism from Arshad Warsi. Prabhas's stature is too big for comments coming from small minds..
