Initial evaluations of the newest MCU release have been varied. While certain audiences have labeled it a break from the "tedious" recent MCU films, others have referred to it as a contribution to the dwindling lineup of Marvel Studios. "#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is a cinematic treasure! It's an exhilarating and exciting journey from beginning to end. It's a combination of Winter Soldier and The Dark Knight. The movie continually leaves you wanting more until it concludes with the greatest final act in recent memory. "Old Marvel has returned to the lineup," a viewer remarked.
I hate to say this but #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld was a big disappointment. Felt very empty & lacks the heart of a Captain America movie. The action is edited to death with thousands of cuts. The dialogue is very cheesy. Weird looking green screens. Undercooked villains. Don’t… pic.twitter.com/8NYExwrWOW

Ashish Chanchalani withdraws from Captain America event.
On February 13, Ashish Chanchalani took to his Instagram Stories to share a post stating that he would not host the show, mentioning that his health is poor. He stated, "Hello Doston, I am feeling unwell, so sadly, I won't be able to attend and host the screening of Captain America: Brave New World on Valentine's Day." However, there's no need for concern; those chosen can still attend and relish the performance. I understand, I'm really going to miss you all a lot! "Love you 3000."
What’s the Controversy?
The problem started when Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly referred to as BeerBiceps, made an offensive joke about incest during an episode of India’s Got Latent. The episode included Ashish, comedian Samay Raina, content creator Apoorva Mukhija, and several others. The comment ignited fury, resulting in various legal grievances.
As per PTI, the Mumbai police have obtained statements from seven people, including Ashish Chanchlani. In the meantime, ANI stated that the Assam Police have sent new summons to Ashish, Ranveer, Apoorva, and comedian Jaspreet Singh after a complaint regarding the promotion of obscenity. A team of police from Assam has now journeyed to Mumbai to further the investigations.
Ranveer and Samay Bonding
In response to increasing criticism, Ranveer Allahbadia publicly apologized, describing his comment as a "failure of judgment." In a video message, he expressed, “I refuse to be the type of person who treats this responsibility carelessly. Family is the final thing I would ever dishonor. "I must utilize this platform more effectively."
Samay Raina also tackled the matter, disclosing that he removed every episode of India’s Got Latent from YouTube due to the criticism. "My sole aim was to bring joy and laughter to people." "I will completely assist all agencies to make sure their investigations are resolved justly," he expressed. As the legal processes progress, it is yet to be determined how this dispute will develop for the creators engaged.
Ashish Chanchlani’s withdrawal from the Captain America: Brave New World screening has left fans wondering if it's just a health issue or something more. As the controversy unfolds and legal actions continue, it remains to be seen how this storm will impact the creators involved.
