Ranveer Singh apologises over Kanntara controversy
Enormous controversy erupted when Ranveer Singh mimicked the Rishab Shetty’s Kantara act on the closing ceremony of IFFI 2025. What damage all is he referred to daivas as ghosts.
Ranveer went forward together with his mimicry at the same time as Rishab Shetty was signalling ‘No’ asking him to not do it. The video went viral on social media. Ranveer Singh mimicked saying “I watched Kantara Chapter 1 in theatres, and Rishab, it was an impressive efficiency, particularly when the feminine ghost (Chamundi Daiva) enters your physique – that shot was wonderful,”
Ranveer Singh determined to apologise as few Kannnada outfits and Hindu organisations went forward to complain towards him within the police station for hurting the feelings. He stated “My intention was to spotlight Rishab’s unimaginable efficiency within the movie. Actor to actor, I understand how a lot it takes to carry out that exact scene in the way in which he did, for which he has my utmost admiration,”
He added “I’ve at all times deeply revered each tradition, custom and perception in our nation. If I’ve damage anybody’s sentiments, I sincerely apologise.”
Rishab earlier stated “Uska jo seriousness hai, jo Daiva nartak hai, unko humne bahot fastidiously present kiya hai. Usme kuch bhi idhar-udhar nahi hona chahiye [We have treated it with deep seriousness. The Daiva nartak has been depicted with great care; nothing should be distorted],”
