We don't hate Bollywood we just hate Arshad Warsi for his recent comments about prabhas.. We are never going to forgive him for what he said Until he publicly Apologizes."
One of the users reacting to the director's tweet wrote, "Sorry Sir, Yeah Arshad Saab's Statement and Words have hurted us a lot, He shouldn't have said that."
Another user wrote, "When they go low, we go high" and answer with success #Kalki2898AD"
