Samay Raina and Mukesh Khanna share screen months after India’s Got Latent controversy

In an unexpected move, Shaktiman star Mukesh Khanna shared the screen with comedian Samay Raina months after the veteran actor publicly criticised the comedian over the India’s Got Latent controversy. The collab has been in the spotlight as Khanna had been one of Samay’s most vocal critics during the India’s Got Latent controversy.

The advertisement was shared by the comedian himself few hours ago on Monday. In the video shared on Instagram, Samay is seen talking to someone on the phone, and he says, “Thanks, yaar. The show is returning now. As they say, darkness doesn’t prevail for long.” Just then, Shaktimaan arrives in his signature style. Seeing him, Samay asks, “What are you doing on my roof, sir?” Mukesh Khanna replies, “Teri tedhi dumm seedhi karne ayaa hu, Samay Raina (I am here to put you in line, Samay Raina).” Samay further asks him to go down and talk, stating he is scared to be on a roof with Shaktimaan.

Mukesh adds, “After three FIRs, you don’t seem to have learnt a lesson. We will have to paint your face black.” The actor also takes aim at Samay’s style of comedy during the playful banter. Referring to the comedian’s language and humour, “You live in India, but your jokes are American style,” Mukesh Khanna points out. Just then, Samay Raina advertises the phone they have collaborated on. Finally, Samay also manages to make Mukesh Khanna laugh at one of his jokes. As Mukesh Khanna leaves, Samay says, “Sorry, Shaktimaan.”

Internet has gone crazy after the release of the ad. One of them wrote, “Shaktimaan bhi bik gaya,” and another one said, “Bro always changes his enemies into MONEY MAKING MACHINES.” A third user on Instagram wrote, “Bro turning all haters into brand deals.” Another user also wrote, “Totally Unexpected Collab.”. Several of them joked about the fact that the duo had publicly disagreed to work together in the past.
