Over the past few days, a lot has been said about Arshad Warsi’s comment about Prabhas’ performance in Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD. This led to a lot of backlash towards Arshad, not only from fans of Prabhas, but from a lot of big names from the Telugu Industry, one of them being Nani- who, currently, is in the middle of promoting his upcoming film Surya’s Saturday which is releasing on 29th August.
It also started when Arshad was talking about Kalki 2898 AD on Samdish Bhatia‘s podcast. He said, “I am really sad. Prabhas was like a joker” (in the movie). Few days later, Nani was asked about Arshad’s comment and he replied to the question in Telugu which when translated, meant, “This must be the most publicity he, (actor who commented about Prabhas) has got in his life. You are unnecessarily glorifying an unimportant matter.”
Now in an exclusive interview with ETimes, Nani opens up about his reaction and shares that it stems from love for Prabhas, he said “ Prabhas is a person..because of how he is over the years, everyone owns him, he’s not just this big star who does big films, but because of his humble nature, we feel like we own him.”
“ During the press event I was asked about it, I had kept on hearing that he was called something ..so I’’ve reacted to it.. And later, when I went back and saw the whole thing…I realized this whole thing is being blown out of proportion ..choice of words could have been better, but that is a different debate altogether, and even mine (statement) is blown out of proportion . I also realized that I should concentrate on my movie Surya’s Saturday and react only on the movie,” he added.
He finally stated , “When someone speaks something about someone we love, even if it is unintentional, we will react ..that’s exactly what happened here with fans, audience and the actors.”
