MUMBAI: The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has called for an "immediate ban" on the YouTube program in response to the scandal surrounding "BeerBiceps" star Ranveer Allahbadia's inappropriate comments and questions on Samay Raina's India's Got Latent.
AICWA did not mince words in a February 10 press release, demanding "severe legal action" against all parties. In addition, the association called for authorities to implement "rigorous regulations on digital content," indicating a crackdown on what they see to be unregulated internet speech.
Their press release read, “The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) vehemently condemns the reprehensible and offensive remarks made on the YouTube show “India’s Got Latent," hosted by Samay Raina. In a recent episode, Ranveer Allahbadia, who participated in the show, unleashed abhorrent and vile statements that are deeply disrespectful to our societal and family values. Such disgraceful content is utterly unacceptable and poses a significant threat to the moral fabric of our society.”
The press release of AICWA further read, “Representing the entire Indian film industry, AICWA officially boycotts ‘India’s Got Latent’. We call upon all actors, filmmakers, directors, and technicians to immediately cease any collaboration with individuals involved in this show, including host Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia. Henceforth, these individuals will receive no support from the Indian film industry.”
