Garikapati's Criticism on Prabhas Kalki Movie

It has been four months since the release of Prabhas' film Kalki 2898 AD, yet discussions surrounding certain key elements of the movie continue to surface. When the movie initially premiered, much of the conversation revolved around the characters of Arjuna and Karna, with fans and critics debating who the greater hero was. Some argued in favor of Arjuna's superiority, while others staunchly defended Karna. Though that debate has long since subsided, the film has once again become the subject of public discourse—this time, due to remarks from renowned spiritual orator Garikapati Narasimha Rao.
