Nani's reaction to Arshad's comment on Prabhas

During a press event for his latest film Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, Nani was asked about Arshad’s statements, and he didn't hold back in his response. 

Nani pointed out that Arshad was receiving an unusual amount of attention because of his controversial comments. “The person you’re referring to is probably getting the most publicity of his life right now. You’re unnecessarily giving importance to something that doesn’t deserve it,” Nani remarked. 

Sudheer Babu criticised Arshad

Earlier, actor Sudheer Babu also addressed Arshad's comments, criticising the lack of professionalism. He stated, “It’s fine to offer constructive criticism, but bad-mouthing is never acceptable. I never expected such unprofessionalism from Arshad Warsi. Prabhas' stature is far too significant to be diminished by small-minded comments.”
