Bollywood star Ranveer Singh is set to file an affidavit offering an unconditional apology in the ongoing controversy linked to his mimicry of a ritual-inspired scene from Kantara. The move comes as legal proceedings continue over allegations of hurting religious sentiments.

Legal Step To Resolve Row

As per latest developments, Ranveer Singh is expected to approach the Karnataka High Court with an affidavit stating his apology. This is being seen as an effort to de-escalate the matter and bring a formal closure to the case filed against him.

What Sparked The Controversy

The issue began when Ranveer Singh recreated a scene inspired by the “Daiva” performance from Kantara during a public event. The sequence is deeply rooted in the traditional Bhoota Kola ritual of coastal Karnataka and holds strong religious significance.

Sections of the public objected to the act, claiming it misrepresented a sacred tradition. The backlash quickly escalated, leading to an FIR and legal scrutiny.

No Personal Rift With Rishab Shetty

Amid the row, Rishab Shetty, who directed and starred in Kantara, maintained a measured stance. He acknowledged the cultural sensitivity of the ritual but did not engage in any direct criticism of Ranveer Singh.
