AIB removes roast after government warns of inquiry

February 04, 2015 02:10

NDTV reports: In the face of a raging controversy and the possibility of a government inquiry into its expletive-laced, no-holds barred "roast" of two film stars, organiser AIB said late on Tuesday evening that it was "pulling off" the programme for now.

Earlier today, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had said, "If the AIB roast was vulgar and not in accordance with the law, then we will act."

The roast, the first of its kind in India, featured a panel of eight and 'Roastmaster' Karan Johar skewering 'Gunday' actors Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor and subjecting them to jokes about their on-screen and off-screen lives. 4,000 people attended the show last week in Mumbai and later it went viral online.
