The criticism arose after Singh, during an appearance at IFFI 2025, re-enacted a sequence from Kantara: Chapter 1 involving the Daivas, revered deities from the Bhoota Kola tradition of coastal Karnataka, and referred to them as “ghosts.” The act drew criticism from several groups, who alleged it was disrespectful to the religious and cultural traditions depicted within the film.
Singh had previously issued a public apology, stating, “My intention was to focus on Rishab Shetty’s incredible performance within the film. Actor to actor, I understand how much it might take to perform that exact scene in the best way he did, for which he has my utmost admiration.” He added, “I actually have all the time deeply respected every culture, tradition and belief in our country. If I’ve hurt anyone’s sentiments, I sincerely apologise.”
The Karnataka High Court accepted Singh’s unconditional apology after he filed a revised affidavit and gave an undertaking to go to the Chamundeshwari Temple. The court indicated it’s more likely to eliminate the matter once the updated affidavit is verified.
On the skilled front, Singh’s film Dhurandhar The Revenge has turn out to be the primary Hindi film to net Rs 1,000 crores in India, achieving that milestone in 18 days. The film has gathered over Rs 1,800 crores worldwide.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is directed by Aditya Dhar and produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios. The film stars Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Akshaye Khanna and Yami Gautam.
