Nag Ashwin REACTS to Arshad Warsi calling Prabhas a ‘joker’ in Kalki 2898 AD; requests not to spread hate

-

Followed by Arshad Warsi sharing his review on the recently released film Kalki 2898 AD which garnered tremendous response at the box office, it has sparked yet another Bollywood vs South, to be more specific Bollywood vs Tollywood debate, which has also angered a few netizens. Director of this dystopian action-drama Nag Ashwin is the latest one to react on this controversy but the peace-loving filmmaker has taken the criticism in his stride and has even gone to request some social media users to stop spreading hatred.

Nag Ashwin took to the social media platform X, aka Twitter, to react to the statements made by Arshad Warsi along with asserting that the character will be developed well for the sequel. He responded to the comments, saying, “Let's not go backwards..no more north-south or bolly vs tolly..eyes on the bigger picture.. United Indian Film Industry..Arshad saab should have chosen his words better..but it's ok..sending buji toys 4 his kids..il work hard so tweets fdfs that prabhas was the best ever in k2”.

Furthermore answering to a fan who expressed hatred towards Arshad and his words, Ashwin requested him to stop doing so and added, “Too much hate in the world already bro...we can try not to add to it..I know prabhas garu will also feel the same...<3”.

For the unversed, Arshad Warsi expressed his dislike towards the film Kalki 2898 AD after watching it during a podcast. The actor, while hailing Amitabh Bachchan’s performance, criticized the role of Prabhas wherein he said, “Prabhas, I am really sad, but he was like a joker. I wanted to see a Mad Max; I wanted to see Mel Gibson over there,” he had said. This did not go down well with many, especially Prabhas’ darlings, who shared several hate tweets against Warsi on the platform with many demanding an apology from him.

Speaking of Kalki 2898 AD, the film is a sci-fi futuristic action drama inspired by Indian mythology but set in the post-apocalyptic era and is based on prophecy of the birth of Lord Kalki who is expected to be the messiah for the oppressed and destroyer of the unjust autocrats. Starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Kamal Haasan in key roles, the film is expected to be developed into a franchise with a second installment already on the cards.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al
