India's Got Latent Season 2 premiere is set to begin with a major celebrity appearance as Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh join Samay Raina for the first episode of the comedy talent show. The actors will feature as special guests on the season opener, adding extra excitement to the show's highly anticipated return.

The duo's appearance comes as they actively promote their upcoming action thriller Alpha. Interest around the episode had already grown after photographs of the actors from the show's set surfaced online earlier this week.

The new season also marks a significant change in the show's distribution strategy. After weeks of speculation, Samay Raina confirmed that India's Got Latent Season 2 will stream simultaneously on Netflix India and YouTube, making it accessible to a much wider audience.

India's Got Latent controversy returns to the spotlight

The show's return also revives conversations around the controversy that surrounded its previous season. The backlash began after influencer Ranveer Allahbadia made remarks during an episode that many viewers considered offensive.

Multiple FIRs were subsequently filed against Allahbadia and the show's producers. The matter later reached the Supreme Court, which granted him interim protection from arrest while criticising the remarks as vulgar.

Speaking on Still Alive, Raina revealed that several controversial comments made during the recording had been removed during editing, with only one instance retained in the final cut.

India's Got Latent Season 2 premieres on Netflix and YouTube on June 20 at 7 pm.
