The Karnataka High Court has accepted Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh's unconditional apology concerning his mimicry of a scene from the film Kantara, which sparked outrage among the Kannadiga community. Following the submission of a revised affidavit, the court has directed Singh to visit the Chamundeshwari Temple in Mysuru, Karnataka, within four weeks. The controversy began when Singh imitated the iconic Daiva scene featuring Rishab Shetty during the closing ceremony of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) on November 30, 2025. His performance drew significant backlash, leading him to seek relief from the court after an FIR was filed against him. In his Instagram Stories, Singh expressed regret, stating that his intention was to honor Shetty's performance and emphasized his respect for diverse cultures and traditions. Rishab Shetty, who directed and starred in Kantara, previously stated that the Daiva element is sensitive and should not be mocked, urging respect for the cultural significance of the scene.
