Warshi called Prabhas a "joker" in Kalki during a conversation on "Unfiltered by Samdish," which angered Nani. In Telugu, Nani answered Arshad's statement by saying, “The person that you’re referring to, this must be the most publicity he has got in his life. You are unnecessarily glorifying an unimportant matter.” Although Prabhas's supporters applauded him, several members of the Hindi cinema audience took offense at his comments.
