The Maharashtra government has decided to investigate if a roast of actors Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor, held in Mumbai last month, was guilty of obscene language and content.
Maharashtra's Minister for Cultural Affairs Vinod Tawde termed the "vulgarity" of the show "a crime". "We will register an FIR against them as they appear to have performed without any performance license. Such vulgarity is a crime and based on facts which will emerge, the government will file a case against them," he said.
The roast, the first of its kind in India, featured a panel of eight and 'Roastmaster' Karan Johar putting the Gunday actors through an expletive-laced hour-and-a-half of jokes about their on-screen and off-screen lives.
Audience A-listers included actors Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt and Sonakshi Sinha.
In response to feedback on twitter last week about some of the jokes going way too far, AIB co-founder Tanmay Bhat responded, "All the roasts I've seen online have all been equal opportunity offending."
