Telugu actor Nani whose upcoming film 'Saripodha Sanivaaram' is set for release even in north India, has tried to mellow down his comments against Arshad Warsi. After triggering controversy, the 'Ninnu Kori' actor said he should have worded his reaction better.
In an interview with a Bollywood publication, Nani said his comment against Arshad over Prabhas' role in Kalki 2898 AD was 'lost in translation'. Arshad, in a recent interview, had said Prabhas 'was a joker' in Kalki 2898 AD.
Nani has admitted that he could have chosen his words more carefully. "I saw online how a language is translated into English, how it might sound. That always happens with social media... I had only heard what he had commented because the cut clips were all over social media, like how mine was everywhere yesterday.
See, it's about a very dear person (Prabhas). When it's about a person you love, you immediately react and say, 'Why are you giving so much importance to an unimportant matter?' But after seeing a lot of reactions on social media, I went back and watched the whole thing in its entirety. So, now I understand it. The whole thing has been blown out of proportion through media and social media. And even my reaction has been blown out of proportion."
After tasting success with the father-son drama 'Hi Nanna', Nani will showcase his fiery side in his upcoming film with Vivek Athreya.
