The New Apu Makes His Debut Tonight On ‘The Simpsons’

The Simpsons introduces a new voice for the character Apu in the episode The Revengening. Sunil Malhotra takes over the role from Hank Azaria, who voiced the character for nearly 30 years. Azaria stopped providing the voice in 2017 following a documentary that sparked backlash regarding the representation of South Asians. Although Apu remained visible on the show for nine years, he remained silent until this latest debut, restoring the character's voice for the audience.
