"If the programme was vulgar and was in violation of law, then action will be taken against the organisers," Fadnavis told reporters in Kolhapur.

The AIB Knockout was a comic 'roast', also called 'insult comedy', featuring actors Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar and organised by AIB in December 2014 at Worli in south-central Mumbai.

The show went viral on a social networking site with over four million views in less than four days. A first information report (FIR) was yesterday filed for the use of obscene and filthy language on the show.
