Singer Justin Bieber's infamous 'roast', hosted by Kevin Hart, will hit Indian television on April 1, just months after the controversial All India Backchod's 'roast' with Bollywood actors Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh.

Bieber's 'roast' will be aired in India on April 1 on Comedy Central, within 24 hours of its US telecast.

The "Baby" hitmaker will be seen being 'roasted' by comedian Hannibal Buress, actor Chris D'elia, rapper Snoop Dogg, actress Natasha Leggero, rapper Ludacris, TV personality Shaquille O'neal, director Jeffrey Ross and writer Martha Stewart.

He will face barbs from a variety of entertainers, including the "Roast Master General" - comedian Jeff Ross who has promised the "best roast ever" for the singer earlier this month, and that nothing will be off limits.

The Indian 'roast' -- AIB Knockout -- which was released in January, saw a star-studded crowd with tinsel town's Deepika Padukone, Sonakshi Sinha, Anurag Kashyap and many more in attendance.

The roast had landed up into major trouble as many found the content vulgur and abusive.
