Ranveer Singh to Visit Chamundi Temple and Submit an Apology in Court Over The Kantara Mimicry Row
Dhurandhar actor Ranveer Singh landed in hot soup after mimicking Rishabh Shetty’s character in Kantara during the IFFI 2025 closing ceremony. Now, the actor is reportedly going to file an affidavit offering his unconditional apology. It will be submitted by him on April 10. He is also going to visit the Chamundi Temple in Mysuru to personally offer an apology.
This comes after the complainant’s lawyer, Prashant Methal, criticised the actor for offering only a social media apology.
About the Controversy:
Ranveer Singh and Rishab Shetty attended the closing ceremony of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2025 in Goa. A video clip from the event showed Ranveer heaping praise on Rishab Shetty’s performance in the Kantara series and also mimicking the Daiva scene done by Rishabh.
In his speech, Ranveer said, “I watched Kantara Chapter 1 in theatres, and Rishab, it was an outstanding performance, especially when the female ghost (Chamundi Daiva) enters your body — that shot was amazing.”
He went on to emulate Rishab’s act in the film’s climax sequence, triggering laughter from Rishab. Ranveer then went on to ask the crowd whether they wanted to see him in Kantara 3. When many rooted for him, on a lighter note, he appealed to them to put in a word to Rishab. Ranveer’s depiction (of Chamundi Daiva) stirred controversy and triggered widespread criticism on social media.
Meanwhile, Ranveer had also approached the Karnataka High Court, asking for the case against him to be dismissed. His legal team argued that there was no intention to offend anyone. According to them, the actor was simply appreciating Rishab Shetty’s impactful performance and the film’s unique storytelling style, and his gesture has been misunderstood.
On the work front, Ranveer Singh is currently soaking up the success of his recently released films, Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Directed by Aditya Dhar, it also stars Sara Arjun, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, Rakesh Bedi and Danish Pandor, among others.

R Madhavan Addresses Sikh Community Backlash Over Dhurandhar: The Revenge Scene
R Madhavan has addressed the controversy surrounding a scene from Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge, which recently sparked strong reactions online. Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the actor shared a video message to clarify the situation after members of the Sikh community raised objections. The issue stemmed from a scene where he was believed to be smoking while reciting a sacred Gurbani verse.

A post shared by R. Madhavan (@actormaddy)
In his statement, Madhavan explained that the assumption was incorrect. He clarified that the cigarette had already been put out before he delivered the dialogue. According to him, there was no smoking involved at the time of recitation, and the scene has been misunderstood.
The actor also recalled that director Aditya Dhar was particular about this detail during the shoot. Emphasising that there was no intention to hurt sentiments, Madhavan said, “I remember I had stubbed out a cigarette. There is no smoke coming out of my mouth in that scene. There is no cigarette in the said scene. We do not want to hurt anyone’s sentiments. We are with the Sikh community and we will stay with them forever. We respect them. Everyone knows that I visit the Golden Temple before any release. Trust me, we had no intentions to hurt anyone.”
The controversy escalated after Gurjeet Singh Kher, a Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) leader and president of Sikhs in Maharashtra, filed a police complaint against the film. He criticised the depiction, calling it insensitive and hurtful to Sikh religious sentiments, and demanded an apology from the film’s team, including Madhavan, Aditya Dhar, and Ranveer Singh.
