Comedian Vir Das's Bengaluru Show Cancelled After Right-Wing Group Objects

Stand-up comic Vir Das's Bengaluru show, set to open today, has been cancelled, the artist announced on Instagram.

"Due to unavaoidable circumstances we are pushing the Bengaluru show. New details and dates soon," Mr Das said, apologising for the inconvenience. 

The show cancellation comes days after a right-wing organisation claimed that Mr Das's show "hurts Hindu sentiments and presents India in bad light".

The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti has filed a police complaint with the Vyalikaval police station. The comedian, who faced a huge backlash last year over his viral "Two Indias" monologue in the US, was set to hold a show today at the Chowdiah Memorial Hall in Malleshwaram.
