At an event organised by Vishwa Hindu Parishad, lyricist Anantha Sriram criticised Prabhas-starrer 'Kalki 2898-AD' for 'humanising Karna'. "When they distorted and portrayed Karna as superior to Arjuna, how dare we as a Hindu society stay silent? When Draupadi vastraharan took place, what did Karna do?" he said, adding, "I'm ashamed as a person who belongs to this film industry."
