Samay Raina’s comeback just got a Bollywood-sized opening act. A leaked photo from the Season 2 shoot of India’s Got Latent has gone viral, and it shows none other than Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh seated at the judges’ panel — making them apparently the first guests of the season.

What the Leaked Photo Reveals?
The photo, apparently clicked from the audience section at The Habitat in Mumbai, shows both actresses at the judges’ table alongside Balraj Ghai (owner of The Habitat and Samay’s close associate) and comedian Aashish Solanki. Alia, wearing a cap, is seen holding a mic. On the table, “India’s Got Latent” is written with a new logo — a hand making a peace sign with two fingers — hinting at Season 2. There’s also a handcuff visible, a nod to the legal trouble the show faced last year.
The episode shoot reportedly took place on Monday, May 18, at The Habitat. No official confirmation has been made by Samay Raina yet.

Others, however, are excited — arguing that landing Alia Bhatt for the season premiere signals that India’s Got Latent is back with serious star power despite last year’s storm.
