'What's so funny?': Atlee's dignified response to Kapil Sharma's odd question about his appearance has won over fans

Hindustan Times  

Atlee is currently inching closer to the release of his much-hyped production venture, Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan in the lead. Officially an adaptation of Thalapathy Vijay's Theri, directed by Atlee himself, there's a lot riding on the project considering it is the director's first Bollywood release post the record-smashing Jawan, one half of Shah Rukh Khan's two-part silver screen comeback last year. Team Baby John on The Great Indian Kapil Show For the latest episode then, of The Great Indian Kapil Show, hosted by Kapil Sharma, the Baby John team — represented by Varun, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi and Atlee — marked their presence. In a long and winding question, potentially with a comic undertone to it, Kapil asked Atlee a question which implied how his appearance doesn't really match up to his mammoth stature. Comments reflecting this read: "That was soo rude….He handled it perfectly", "Because colorism is so normalized in South Asia, disrespecting someone for their skin color is often seen as funny or deserving" and "Kudos to Atlee for giving it back and making it sound wrong from Kapil's end".
