Is Tanmay trying to relive the old AIB days through the latest roast?
Netflix decided to come with a roast to promote AK vs AK, the panel had, Samay Raina, Dolly Singh, Prashasti, and Ashish Shakya, also having Anil Kapoor and Anurag Kashyap divided into a team.
The Roastmaster was none other than Tanmay Bhatt. Tanmay was loaded with wit and humour like he always has been, meanwhile, Prashasti made me laugh the most.
The movie itself seems like covering the famous AK and demeaning and mocking the Not so famous AK. The Indian crowd is not yet welcoming to roast since we love taking offense. But AIB had made an attempt to bring that culture with the Infamous AIB roast with Ranveer and Arjun. Rest is history, lol a bad one.
