Trust Arshad Warsi to never mince his words. In a new podcast interview with Samdish Bhatia, Arshad spoke all about his life, career and even the recent movies he has watched. The actor spoke about Kalki 2898 AD and had an honest review to give: he didn't like it at all.

Arshad reviews Kalki 2898 AD

Speaking about the movie, Arshad started by praising the aura and star power of Amitabh Bachchan, one of the leads in the movie. “Maine Kalki dekhi, mujhe toh nhi acchi lagi. Mujhe bahut takleef hoti hai jab (I watched Kalki. Didn't like it. It hurts me when)… Amit ji was (mind-blown sounds) unbelievable. I can't understand that man. I swear if we got the power he has, life ban jaae (our lives would be set). He's unreal.”

However, he then critiqued the film in no sugar-coated words. “Prabhas, I am really sad, why was he… he was like a joker. Why? I want to see a Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there. Tumne usko kya bana dia yaar. Kyu karte ho aisa mujhe nahi samajh mein aata (What have you made of it? Why do they do such things I never understand).”
