Ranveer Singh on Friday told the Karnataka High Court that he’s willing to file a revised affidavit of apology over remarks linked to the depiction of Chamundi Devi in Kantara<\/em>, as per a Bar And Bench report. The submission was made before Justice M. Nagaprasanna throughout the hearing of a petition related to the controversy.<\/p>\n Ranveer Singh agrees to remodel apology over Kantara-related remark, case adjourned to April 23<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Senior Advocate Sajan Poovayya, appearing for the actor, told the Court that Singh had already filed an affidavit expressing regret. He added that the actor was able to submit a revised version if needed. Based on the affidavit, Singh said he didn’t realise on the time that his remarks could hurt the feelings of devotees of the deity. He also stated that he respects all faiths and traditions.<\/p>\n Poovayya told the Court that Singh had conveyed his \u201cdeepest regret and unconditional apology\u201d through the affidavit. He also said the actor had undertaken to go to the temple of the deity and offer prayers. The counsel further quoted Singh as saying that he grew up in a Sindhi household in Mumbai and was not aware of the sensitivities involved on the time of the incident.<\/p>\n The complainant, Prashanth Methal, argued that the affidavit didn’t reflect real remorse. He told the Court that actor and filmmaker Rishab Shetty had earlier advised Singh to not make such remarks. He requested the Court to direct the filing of a correct affidavit.<\/p>\n Poovayya responded that he was willing to debate the wording of the apology with the complainant and submit a revised affidavit before the Court. Justice Nagaprasanna recorded the submission and adjourned the matter to April 23.<\/p>\n The case pertains to a speech delivered by Singh on the International Film Festival of India in Goa. Throughout the event, Singh praised Shetty\u2019s performance in Kantara<\/em>. While referring to the portrayal of the deity, he described Chamundi Devi as a \u201cfemale ghost\u201d and mimicked a moment from the film. The remarks later triggered criticism on social media.<\/p>\n Following a grievance, a Bengaluru magistrate ordered an investigation under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Based on the order, the High Grounds Police Station registered an FIR against Singh under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita related to non secular enmity, religious insult and public mischief.<\/p>\n Singh later approached the High Court, stating that his remarks were taken out of context and were meant only to understand Shetty\u2019s performance. He also said there was no intention to harm religious sentiments or create disharmony between communities.<\/p>\n Also Read:\u00a0Ranveer Singh to submit unconditional apology affidavit in Kantara mimicry controversy; next hearing on April 10: Report<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Catch us for up to date Bollywood News, Latest Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, Latest Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today & Upcoming Movies 2026 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ranveer Singh on Friday told the Karnataka High Court that he’s willing to file a revised affidavit of apology over remarks linked to the depiction of Chamundi Devi in Kantara, as per a Bar And Bench report.
