The team of Baby John starring Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamiqa Gabbi appeared on the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix. Filmmaker Atlee, who is presenting the film was also in attendance. A video from the episode has surfaced on social media, which has led the internet to call out the host Kapil Sharma for his ‘racist jibes’ at Atlee.
During a segment on the show, Kapil Sharma asked Atlee, “When you get to meet a star for the first time, do they ask, where is Atlee?”, to which the Jawan director replied, “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.”
