Meanwhile, viewers have had mixed responses to Prabhas’ character Bhairava, with some finding the character annoying and misplaced in the story.
A user said, “I just watched Kalki, and what #ArshadWarsi said, I stand by it,”
Saw Kalki today on Netflix. The movie was average. But i agree with @ArshadWarsi sir. #prabhas was like a joker in the movie. He is the biggest disappointment in my opinion. I think @alluarjun would have done a great job.#ArshadWarsi #Nani #AlluArjun𓃵

Some of Arshad Warsi's admirers have responded to his sentiments, stating that the actor was criticising the role and not Prabhas himself. A fan commented, "#ArshadWarsi didn’t say anything wrong here. He didn’t like the character Prabhas was playing and one should be critical about that. Prabhas was literally a joker in #Kalki."

Someone also said, “Arshad Warsi said nothing wrong. He said Prabhas was presented as a joker, but I will say Prabhas himself is a joker. He was unbearable in the first half of #Kalki2898AD, and that’s a fact. Arshad Warsi Forever!"
