Comedian Pranit More found himself at the centre of a controversy in June this year after he was criticised for not calling out a deeply misogynistic remark made by an audience member during one of his shows. The comedian faced intense backlash on social media, following which he took a break from performing stand-up. Now, Pranit has announced his comeback with a new stand-up special, Ghayal, but the announcement has already drawn comparisons with Samay Raina's comeback special, Still Alive.
Pranit More announces comeback
On Wednesday, Pranit took to Instagram and shared a poster for his upcoming stand-up special, Ghayal. Alongside the poster, he wrote, "GHAYAL. I can’t change what happened, but I can choose who I become because of it. Ghayal is the story of that journey. Beginning in Mumbai."
The announcement quickly sparked reactions online, with some users comparing the tone of Pranit's post to Samay's announcement of Still Alive. One user wrote, "You are not Samay Raina...don't try to be him. You are not good at this.Why do people assume that they can spark a trashy controversy, make a comeback, and expect everyone to just forgive and forget?" Another commented, "Everyone knew he would pull something similar to what Samay did."
