Ranveer Singh in trouble for mocking Kantara. It is known that at the closing ceremony of IFFI 2025, Ranveer Singh mimicked Rishab Shetty's performance in Kantara -Chapter 1 saying "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."
It triggered a huge controversy and Ranveer Singh was forced to apologise and at that time even Rishab said "Uska jo seriousness hai, jo Daiva nartak hai, unko humne bahot carefully show 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]."Ranveer Singh said "My intention was to highlight Rishab’s incredible performance in the film. Actor to actor, I know how much it takes to perform that particular scene in the way he did, for which he has my utmost admiration."
