Months after a public controversy led him to step away from stand-up, comedian Pranit More has announced his return with a new show titled Ghayal. The special is set to explore More's personal journey and evolution following the backlash he faced.
More shared the poster for "Ghayal" on Instagram, stating the show "is the story of that journey," beginning in Mumbai. This announcement has stirred significant online discussion, with many users comparing his comeback narrative to that of comedian Samay Raina's return after a separate controversy.
The controversy that prompted More's hiatus involved remarks made during a crowd-work performance in June, which were widely criticized for promoting misogyny and insensitivity. Maharashtra Cyber Police registered an FIR, and the National Commission for Women also took suo motu cognisance.
While some social media users have criticized More, accusing him of imitating Raina's comeback strategy, many fans have expressed excitement and support for his return to the stage, eagerly awaiting his new material.
