Sunil Malhotra has taken over the voice of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon on The Simpsons, according to screenrant.com. His first appearance in the role came in the Halloween special Treehouse of Horror Presents: The Revengening.
Apu had not featured in The Simpsons for almost a decade before the recast. Hank Azaria, a longtime member of the show's cast, previously voiced the character.
The change was confirmed through the character's return in the special, which marked the first time Apu has been heard on the series in around ten years.
In October 2025, background context on the character's long absence pointed to concerns over Azaria's voice performance, which led producers to shelve Apu.
