Rajendra Prasad Issues an Apology

After the backlash, Rajendra Prasad shared a video message to clarify his statement. He explained that he had no bad intentions and was only joking.

**”Before the event, we had a casual gathering where we joked around. I teased Nithiin and Warner in a friendly way. I even asked Warner to prove himself as an actor, and he playfully told me to prove myself as a cricketer.

But now, I see that my words may have hurt people. That was never my intention. I sincerely apologize to Warner and his fans. I will be more careful with my words in the future.”**

His apology aimed to clear the misunderstanding and calm the situation.
