Voot to stream ‘It’s not that simple’ S2
MUMBAI: Voot is all set to roll out its original series, It’s Not That Simple—S2, starting 14 December 2018. The series is produced by Victor Tango Entertainment and directed by Danish Aslam.
His vs Her. Whose ambition is bigger? Are her choices easier than his? Is her affair worse than his fling? Is her truth more complex than his reality? Divorced and determined to rise, Mira Verma has everything at stake – her career, her love, her very identity! Fighting for her rightful place in a world where men and women are judged differently, Mira's story in Voot Original – It’s Not That Simple answers the age-old question: does sex matter?
Voot head content Monika Shergill said, “Timely and relevant, our new Voot Original takes the current gender conflict head on with a powerful female character and four alpha males each with their ambitions, truths and choices! No one is entirely right or fully wrong and the answers are as complex in a gender debate as the questions. Voot has always told nuanced, thought provoking stories and It’s Not That Simple will force you to have a point of view.”

Samay Raina returns with Still Alive, confronts 2025 controversy in bold comeback special
Comeback set tackles controversy, blending humour with raw storytelling
MUMBAI: Samay Raina is set to release his new stand-up comedy special, Still Alive, on YouTube on April 7, 2026, marking a high-profile return following a turbulent year.
The trailer for the special dropped on April 5, offering a glimpse into what Raina describes as a raw and unfiltered set that leans as much on honesty as it does on humour.
Positioned as a comeback of sorts, Still Alive draws heavily from the controversy surrounding his show India’s Got Latent in early 2025. The episode led to legal trouble, multiple FIRs, and a lengthy six-hour interrogation by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, placing the comedian at the centre of intense public scrutiny.
Rather than sidestep the episode, Raina leans into it. The special reflects on the fallout and his personal journey through it, blending observational comedy with moments of emotional candour. Early audience feedback from live performances suggests the tone is less about rapid-fire punchlines and more about storytelling with bite.
The special was filmed during his global Still Alive & Unfiltered tour, which ran from August 2025 to early 2026. The tour saw Raina perform across major international venues, including the Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York, a milestone that places him among the youngest Indian comedians to take that stage.
The title itself signals resilience. “Still Alive” is a nod to navigating both legal and public backlash while choosing to remain unapologetically authentic, a theme that appears to anchor the set.
With the special set to premiere online, all eyes are now on how audiences respond to a performance that promises equal parts reflection and wit. For Raina, the message is clear. He is not just back, he is ready to be heard on his own terms.
