Kapil Sharma criticised for taking a dig at Atlee's appearance

Popular host Kapil Sharma faced the ire of netizens as he took a subtle dig at director-producer Atlee's looks during a recent episode of his The Great Indian Kapil Show.

Along with Varun Dhawan and director Kaless, actors Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi also attended the show to promote their upcoming film Baby John.

A video clip, which has now gone viral, shows Kapil asking Atlee, "Has it ever happened that you went to meet a star and they didn't recognise you? Have they asked where is Atlee?" The Jawan director replied, "Sir, in a way I understood your question. I'll try to answer. I am very thankful to AR Murugadoss sir because he produced my first film. He asked for the script, but he didn't see how I am looking and whether I am capable of it or not, but he loved my narration."
