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!"
