Comedian Pranit More’s announcement of his new stand-up special, Ghayal, has drawn renewed criticism online over the viral Rs 370 biryani crowd-work controversy. Social media users accused More of encouraging misogynistic remarks and questioned his return, with some arguing that the title presents him as a victim. More had apologised for not intervening during the segment and admitted he should not have laughed along. The incident led to an FIR and action by the National Commission for Women, according to ABP Live. ABP Live describes the return as coming weeks after the apology, while NDTV reports it as months after the controversy. NDTV also notes comparisons with Samay Raina’s Still Alive.
