Atlee schools Kapil Sharma for trolling his looks, asks him not to make fun of Archana Puran Singh: ‘Judge by heart, not appearance’

He asked, “But, when you get to meet a star for the first time, do they ask, where is Atlee?” Atlee gave a classy reply and said, “In a way I understood your question. I’ll try to answer. I’m actually very thankful to AR Murugadoss sir because he produced my first film. He asked for a script, but he didn’t see how I was looking or whether I’m capable of it or not. But, he loved my narration. I think the world should see that. We should not judge by appearance. You have to judge by your heart.” The clip from the episode went viral on social media and Kapil is now facing backlash for his racist remarks.

In addition, as per usual, Kapil Sharma also took a dig at Archana Puran Singh. Atlee didn’t shy away from siding with her and requested the comedian not to make fun of her, calling Archana the show’s ‘saviour’ for him. Kapil introduced the director to her and said, “Her name is Archana Puran Singh because she is a great admirer of Daku Mohan Singh. There was a man in his gang inspired by which her name was kept,” after which everyone burst into laughter. However, Atlee said, “Don’t pull her leg, she is the only saviour of the show for me. Whenever she laughs, I am going to laugh, because I know nothing, I am waiting for her cue.” Archana instantly responded, “Well said Atlee, you and I are a team now.”

Meanwhile, Atlee Kumar turned producer as he is the co-producer of Varun Dhawan’s upcoming film Baby John. For the unversed, Baby John is an adaptation of his superhit film, Theri, with Thalapathy Vijay. Directed by Kalees, the action drama stars Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi in lead roles. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on December 25.
