After the episode was aired, netizens took offense at the question asked by Kapil to filmmaker Atlee. The comedian was called out for being `racist` towards the filmmaker. Now, the comedian has recated to one such tweet on X. 

A user shared a clip from the episode where Kapil asks 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.”
