The Simpsons Reveals Apu's New Voice — See Who's Replacing Hank Azaria
Apu is back on The Simpsons, and he sounds a little different - get the scoop on the new voice actor replacing Hank Azaria.
The Simpsons recently introduced Apu's new voice actor, Sunil Malhotra, in an episode airing on Sunday. Malhotra, known for his work on Grey's Anatomy, House, and The West Wing, replaces the long-standing voice of Apu, Hank Azaria, who voiced the character from the show's premiere until 2020. This change comes after a growing number of voices raised concerns about a white actor portraying an Indian character.
Apu has been appearing more frequently in the show, according to executive producer Matt Selman, who expressed excitement about Malhotra's contribution to the role. In the latest episode, Janina Gavankar also made her debut as Apu's wife, Manjula, a role previously voiced by Jan Hooks and Tress MacNeille. Sunil Malhotra, born in India and raised near Chicago, has a diverse background in live-action TV and animation voice-over, including roles in The Legend of Korra and Monster High.
