After pledging an inquiry to determine if a roast of actors Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor, employed obscene language and content, the Maharashtra government has said it will not exercise "moral policing."
Maharashtra minister for cultural affairs Vinod Tawde first said "Such vulgarity is a crime and based on facts which will emerge, the government will file a case against them."
But later, he tweeted the probe would be limited to determining whether the event, held in Mumbai on December, had necessary clearances.
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.
