Prabhas A Joker – MAA Reacts Serious on Arshad Warsi
Arshad Warsi, well-known for his role in Munna Bhai, sparked a significant controversy with his recent remarks about Prabhas. About his performance in the blockbuster film Kalki 2898 AD. Directed by Nag Ashwin, the film has been a massive hit across the nation. But Arshad expressed his dissatisfaction, stating that Prabhas looked like a joker in the movie and criticized the film’s overall execution.
In response to Arshad’s comments, Manchu Vishnu, President of the Movie Artiste Association (MAA). Sent a formal letter to the Cine & TV Artistes Association (CINETAA) in Mumbai, addressing the issue. In the letter, Manchu Vishnu conveyed his concerns to Poonam Dhillon, President of CINETAA. About the impact of Arshad Warsi’s remarks on the Telugu film industry and Prabhas’ fans.
The letter reads as follows:
“Dear Ms. Poonam Dhillon, I hope this letter reaches you in good health. As the President of MAA, I am writing to bring to your attention an issue that has caused considerable distress within the Telugu film community.
In a recent interview, Mr. Arshad Warsi, a respected actor known across various industries, shared his views on the film Kalki. While we respect everyone’s right to express their opinions. I regret to inform you that Mr. Warsi made a particularly derogatory comment about Mr. Prabhas. Which has deeply hurt the sentiments of many in the Telugu film industry and among his fans.

In today’s world, where social media can amplify every statement, it is more important than ever for public figures to be mindful of their words. Words hold power; they can either foster connections or create divisions. Unfortunately, Mr. Warsi’s comment has generated unnecessary negativity among cinema enthusiasts and within our community.
I am confident that CINETAA, which has always promoted unity and respect within the film industry, understands our concern that such comments should be avoided in the future. We kindly request that Mr. Arshad Warsi be advised to refrain from making similar remarks about fellow actors moving forward. It is crucial that we uphold the dignity and respect that each of our colleagues deserves, regardless of their regional background.
Let us not forget that we are all part of one large family, united by our shared love for cinema. Our strength lies in our unity, and it is our collective duty to ensure that this unity is preserved.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your support in maintaining the harmony and respect that define our industry.”
In addition to Manchu Vishnu, several other industry figures, including actors Nani, Sharwanand, Payal Rajput, and director Ajay Bhupathi, also reacted to Arshad Warsi’s comments.
