Renowned filmmaker Atlee, who appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show to promote his upcoming movie Baby John, had an unexpected moment of tension during the episode. A joke by Kapil Sharma, which targeted Atlee’s appearance, did not sit well with the director. Atlee responded with grace and delivered a powerful message about judging people by their hearts rather than their looks.
During the show, Kapil Sharma cracked a joke implying confusion about Atlee’s identity, which many found insensitive. Atlee, however, turned the moment into an opportunity to share an inspiring perspective. He recounted his experience of being supported by acclaimed filmmaker AR Murugadoss early in his career.
“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,” Atlee explained. He further emphasized, “We should not judge by appearance. You have to judge by your heart.”
Atlee’s dignified response garnered applause and served as a reminder about the importance of looking beyond external appearances.
Later in the episode, Kapil made another quip, this time aimed at Archana Puran Singh, linking her name to a historical bandit. Atlee promptly came to Archana’s defense, calling her a “saviour” for him during the show.
“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,” Atlee remarked humorously. Archana appreciated Atlee’s kind words, responding warmly, “Well said Atlee, you and I are a team now.”
The promotional episode featured an impressive lineup of stars, including Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamiqa Gabbi, who joined Atlee to share insights about Baby John. The film, which also boasts a special appearance by Salman Khan, is set to release on December 25, 2024.
Produced by Murad Khetani, Priya Atlee, and Jyoti Deshpande, Baby John promises to be an exciting cinematic venture. With Atlee’s reputation for delivering blockbusters, the movie has already created a buzz among fans.
While the episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show featured light-hearted banter and laughter, Atlee’s poignant words left a lasting impression. By addressing the joke with dignity and humor, the filmmaker reminded everyone about the values of kindness, respect, and looking beyond appearances.
As anticipation for Baby John builds, Atlee’s appearance on the show added another layer of excitement for the movie’s release this Christmas season.
