"It's okay to review or criticise any movie as an audience, but the words chosen by Mr. Arshad Warsi ji do not fall under constructive criticism. He should choose his words wisely. A film loved by the masses and earning a massive ₹1100 crore, starring an actor who is the #Darling of the audience, is being labeled as a 'Joker'," he said.

He further wrote, "Instead of attacking #Prabhas Garu, he should focus on his own career and tell us what he is doing for the growth of Indian cinema. Prabhas has given us the #Baahubali series, a source of national pride on the world stage. Indian cinema is striving to compete with Hollywood, and #Kalki2898AD is a step in that direction. Instead of mocking such efforts, we should be supporting them. We need 'Circuit,' not a 'short-circuit."
