What About The Viral Leaked Set Photo?

Speculation surrounding Season 2 has been building for weeks.

Earlier this month, a leaked photograph allegedly from the sets of India’s Got Latent Season 2 went viral online. The image reportedly showed actors Alia Bhatt and Sharvari seated alongside comedians Balraj Ghai and Aashish Solanki.

While the photograph quickly sparked rumours about celebrity appearances in the upcoming season, neither the actors nor the makers of the show have officially confirmed those reports.

As a result, fans are still waiting for an official announcement regarding the complete guest lineup.

Why Was India’s Got Latent Removed Earlier?

The show’s return comes after a highly publicised controversy that led to its abrupt disappearance from YouTube.

The controversy began in February 2025 when YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia appeared on the show alongside Ashish Chanchlani and Apoorva Mukhija. Certain remarks made during the episode triggered widespread backlash online.

The incident eventually led to multiple FIRs being filed against Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and the show itself. As the controversy intensified, all episodes of India’s Got Latent were removed from YouTube.

The development disappointed many fans who had become regular viewers of the show and considered it one of the most entertaining comedy formats on the platform.

When Will India’s Got Latent Season 2 Release?

While Samay Raina has now confirmed that filming is in progress, he has not yet revealed an official release date for the new season.

However, the latest update suggests that production is moving ahead smoothly, bringing the show one step closer to its return.

For fans who have spent months wondering whether India’s Got Latent would ever come back, Samay’s behind-the-scenes glimpse appears to be the strongest confirmation yet that the show is preparing for its next chapter.

Is Samay Raina Returning To Live Events Too? 

Recently, Samay announced “COB Revival”, a live chess-themed entertainment event featuring Samay Raina alongside several popular creators and comedians. Promotional posters for the event show Samay sharing the stage with well-known internet personalities, with the first day scheduled to go live on June 1. 

The announcement comes shortly after Samay spoke about reviving his favourite chess tournament “for old times’ sake,” leading many fans to believe that chess content could once again become a major part of his online presence.
