On February 6, the comedian announced on Instagram that he would be hosting a private screening of Captain America: Brave New World on Valentine's Day for single super soldiers. He also said that he would be there to watch the movie with everyone and meet them.

For the unversed, Ashish Chanchlani was on the panel of India’s Got Latent, along with Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Jasprit Singh, and Samay Raina. All of them, along with the show’s organizer, are facing FIR charges and a probe is underway.

The complaint, lodged with the Mumbai Commissioner and the Maharashtra Women's Commission, accused the panel of using abusive language on the show. While Raina and Allahbadia have issued statements following the outrage, Chanchlani has maintained silence.

The episode of India's Got Latent that stirred all controversy has been taken down from YouTube. Meanwhile, in his statement, Samay Raina confirmed that he has deleted all episodes from the platform.

On January 12, Apoorva, aka The Rebel Kid, recorded her statement at Khar Police Station. On the other hand, Samay has been summoned twice by Mumbai Police, but he requested for extension as he is currently busy touring the U.S. and Canada.
