In his recent interview, Arshad Warsi was asked about the latest film he didn't like. To this, the Bollywood actor named Kalki 2898 AD. Despite not liking the Nag Ashwin directorial, Warsi lauded Big B's performance.

"Maine Kalki dekhi, mujhe toh nahi acchi lagi. Mujhe bahut takleef hoti hai jab… Amit ji was unbelievable. I can't understand that man. I swear if we got the power he has, life ban jaye. He's unreal," said Arshad.

He continued to critique the film and added, "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?" And while Arshad didn't like Kalki 2898, he enjoyed watching Rajkummar Rao's Srikanth and called him a 'great actor'.
