Comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina has officially brought back his reality comedy series India’s Got Latent for Season 2, and the credits are drawing as much attention as the show itself especially for the unusually large legal team (11 members) listed in the production roster.
The season’s first episode debuted with a new release on Netflix, before it was later posted on YouTube on June 20, and it quickly became a viral talking point online.
While most viewers were focused on the performances, many also noticed the massive legal roster credited for the production’s compliance and liability.
The closing credits reportedly revealed that a Mumbai-based media and entertainment law firm, Hirani & Associates, has been engaged to oversee compliance and reduce legal risk for the series. Known for work across intellectual property, media litigation, and content clearance, the firm is said to be managing a team of 11 advocates for the digital show.
The firm’s managing partner, Lavin Hirani, has supported production companies, broadcasters, and celebrities across areas such as content acquisition and copyright, as well as talent agreements, endorsements, and media-related disputes.
The credits also list additional advocates: Anjana Menon, Karisma Shah, Varun Gopala Krishnan, Prachiti Joshi, Niharika Tiwari, Ishan Puranaik, Suhavi Arya, Shrawasti Verma, Clint Thattil, Shreya Divyanshika Kumar, and Siri Gudupati.
This expanded legal backing comes after India’s Got Latent was at the center of a major controversy in February 2025.

Earlier, In February 2025, comments made by podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia popularly known as BeerBiceps during an episode of the show sparked major backlash. As a result, multiple FIRs were filed across different states against Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and other participants linked to the series.
Throughout 2025, legal actions continued, including matters tied to statements made on the programme as well as debates about how digital content should be regulated.
Additionally, The Supreme Court later considered several petitions related to the episode, with concerns raised around obscenity, online content standards, and where free speech should be drawn. In the end, the controversy led to all Season 1 episodes being removed, followed by extended legal examination.
