Ranveer Singh has recently become the center of an online controversy after a clip from the IFFI stage went viral.
In the video, he was seen praising actor director Rishab Shetty, but sections of social media claim that his mimicry of a Hindu folk deity came across as disrespectful.
Many users, especially from the Tulu speaking regions and from Karnataka, have expressed anger and are urging the actor to issue an apology.
Another point circulating online is Ranveer’s remark about a female ghost in reference to Shetty’s film Kantara. Viewers argue that this comment misrepresented the male deity shown in the story.
According to critics, Ranveer's statements were made in haste, while others believe the reactions have been amplified by social media debates.
With Ranveer’s film Durandhar scheduled for release on December 5, several users suggest that clarifying his intent or offering an apology if required could help avoid further controversy.
For now, audiences are waiting to see how he chooses to respond to the growing discussion.
