In the clip that went viral, Kapil Sharma asked Atlee, “Atlee sir, actually you are so young, and aap itne bade producer-director ban gaye hain. Kabhi aapke saath aisa hua hai ki kabhi aap kisi star se milne gaye first time, aur usko laga hi naa ho ki aap Atlee ho. Usne kaha ‘where is Atlee?’” (Atlee, you’re so young, and you’ve become such a big producer-director. Has it ever happened that you met a star for the first time, and they didn’t recognize you and asked, ‘Where is Atlee?’).
