In the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, the team of the movie Baby John—Varun Dhawan, Atlee, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Keerthy Suresh—appeared as special guests on the show.
Kapil Sharma is often criticized for joking about people’s looks on The Great Indian Kapil Show. Recently, during the grand finale episode, Kapil made comments about director-producer Atlee Kumar’s appearance and also teased Archana Puran Singh. These jokes upset some viewers.
The episode featured the team of the movie Baby John—Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Atlee—as special guests. Kapil joked about Atlee’s looks, asking if stars ever wonder, “Where is Atlee?” when they meet him for the first time.
Atlee responded calmly and shared how AR Murugadoss gave him his first chance as a filmmaker by trusting his talent, not judging his looks. He said people should be judged by their abilities and heart, not their appearance. His response went viral on social media, and many criticized Kapil for his insensitive remarks.
Kapil also joked about Archana Puran Singh, saying her name was inspired by a member of Daku Mohan Singh’s gang, which made the audience laugh. Atlee, however, defended Archana, calling her the “saviour” of the show for him. He said, “Whenever she laughs, I laugh along because I wait for her cues.” Archana appreciated Atlee’s support and said, “You and I are a team now!”
In other news, Atlee has co-produced Varun Dhawan’s upcoming film Baby John, which is a remake of his hit film Theri starring Thalapathy Vijay. Directed by Kalees, the movie also stars Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi and is set to release in theaters on December 25. Fans can look forward to an action-packed treat this holiday season.
