Self censorship on Star Plus

IN Media Watch Briefs | 27/10/2017

The Wire reports that  comedian Rangeela who recorded a mimicking of PM Modi for Star Plus's reality show  ‘The Great Indian Laughter Challenge’  has alleged that the channel  refused to air his act. He said that he got a phone call from the production team almost a month after the episode was originally recorded  asking him to shoot a new act because the channel had decided to not air it.  Two other scripts that he had submitted were rejected because they were on Modi, he said.
