Comedian Samay Raina has officially confirmed that shooting for the second season of 'India's Got Latent' has commenced, putting an end to weeks of speculation about the show's return. The update came via an Instagram post, where Raina responded to fans who had been persistently asking for clarity on the new season. In a behind-the-scenes image, Raina is seen holding a microphone on set, with comedian Balraj Ghai standing behind him. The identities of other panel members were intentionally concealed to build anticipation.
Samay Raina Confirms 'India's Got Latent' Season 2 Shoot
According to reports from Hindustan Times, Samay initially announced that he was reviving his favorite chess tournament for old times' sake. Shortly after, his direct messages were flooded with inquiries about 'India's Got Latent' Season 2. Raina responded with characteristic humor before revealing the bigger news. He first posted a meme from his comedy special 'Still Alive' and then shared a picture from the set. Alongside the image, he wrote, 'Uski bhi shooting chal rahi hai dostoooo (That's being shot too, friends).' The photo showed Samay on set with a microphone in hand, while comedian Balraj Ghai stood behind him. The faces of the other panelists were not shown, though Hindustan Times noted that comedian Aashish Solanki was partially visible in the frame.
'India's Got Latent' Season 2 Buzz Grows Online
The confirmation follows a leaked image from the alleged set of 'India's Got Latent' Season 2, which went viral earlier this month. The photo appeared to show actors Alia Bhatt and Sharvari seated on a panel alongside Balraj Singh Ghai and Aashish Solanki. This sparked speculation that the actors might appear as guests in the new season, but neither the actors nor the show's makers have confirmed this. The show's return has garnered significant attention, particularly because 'India's Got Latent' faced a major controversy in 2025 following remarks made by Ranveer Allahbadia on the show, which led to backlash. Samay later addressed the incident in 'Still Alive' and confirmed that a second season was in development.
Fans are now eagerly awaiting more details about the panel, guest list, and release date. While Samay has not announced when the new season will premiere, his latest post confirms that production is already underway.
