Arshad Warsi Gives Blunt Review of Kalki 2898 AD, Calls Prabhas a ‘Joker’: ‘What Have You Done to Him?’
Jolly LLB 3 star Arshad Warsi recently gave a candid and harsh review of the film *Kalki 2898 AD*. While he praised Amitabh Bachchan’s performance, he was less than impressed with Prabhas’ portrayal, comparing his look in the film to that of a ‘joker.’
In a recent conversation with Samdish Bhatia on his YouTube channel, Arshad Warsi was asked about the last movie he watched. He revealed that it was *Kalki 2898 AD* and did not hesitate to express his disappointment with the film. Despite his overall dissatisfaction, he couldn’t help but shower praise on Amitabh Bachchan, describing him as “unbelievable” and admiring the legendary actor’s presence on screen. Warsi marveled at Bachchan’s talent, saying, “I cannot understand that man. I swear, if we had his power, our lives would be set. He’s unreal.”
However, when it came to Prabhas, Warsi did not hold back his criticism. He expressed his sadness over Prabhas’ portrayal in the film, stating, “Prabhas, I am really sad. Why was he… he was like a joker. Why? I wanted to see a Mad Max. I wanted to see Mel Gibson over there. What have you done to him? I don’t understand why they do such things.”
During the same interview, Warsi praised Ranbir Kapoor and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film *Animal*, stating that he hadn’t seen anything like it before and calling it a “figment of a man’s imagination.” He emphasized that films are meant to entertain, not educate, and cited Marvel Studios’ *Avengers* as an example of creating a world that captivates audiences. He also acknowledged Anurag Kashyap’s unique filmmaking style, appreciating that Kashyap’s work doesn’t bore him but instead introduces him to a different world.
On the professional front, Arshad Warsi is gearing up for his next film, *Jolly LLB 3*, directed by Subash Kapoor. The comedy courtroom drama, also starring Akshay Kumar, Huma Qureshi, and Saurabh Shukla, is set to be released on April 10, 2025, and is backed by Cape of Good Films in collaboration with Disney.
