Arshad Warsi calls Prabhas a 'joker'

During a recent podcast interview with Samdish Bhatia, Arshad said, “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).”

With a Rs 1100 crore global collection after its release in July, Nag Ashwin's ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ was a huge commercial success at the box office. Prabhas portrays Kashi-based bounty hunter Bhairava, while Deepika Padukone plays SUM-80, a pregnant test victim. The head of the Complex, Supreme Yaskin, is portrayed by Kamal, and Amitabh plays the Indian mythological figure Ashwatthama.
