Bollywood star Ranveer Singh is facing widespread criticism after a playful impersonation of a deity from the film ‘Kantara’ at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI). Critics have accused him of disrespecting religious beliefs.
Movie moments can linger in the public consciousness long after their release, prompting anticipation for sequels and continuations. Such is the case with the ‘Kantara’ franchise. The overwhelming positive reception to the first film fueled excitement for a prequel, and much of that enthusiasm centers on Rishab Shetty, the film’s director and star. His performance as a man possessed by a god was particularly lauded by audiences. Now, Ranveer Singh has found himself at the center of controversy for his interpretation of that iconic role.
The incident occurred at the 56th IFFI, where Singh reenacted a scene depicting the deity’s possession. Rishab Shetty was also present at the event. Singh presented the scene in a comedic manner, and also praised Shetty’s portrayal of the Chamundi goddess. However, many viewers felt Singh trivialized the sacred performance, and a video of the impersonation quickly circulated on social media.

Singh has since issued an apology, writing on social media, “My intention was to express my admiration for Rishab’s incredible performance in the film. As an actor, I understand the immense effort it takes to embody a character, and I have the utmost respect for him. I have always held our country’s rich culture, traditions, and beliefs in high regard. If I have unintentionally hurt anyone’s feelings, I sincerely apologize.” Despite the apology, many ‘Kantara’ fans are unmoved, with some calling Singh a “third-rate actor” and accusing him of disrespecting the character. The controversy highlights the sensitivity surrounding depictions of religion and cultural icons in entertainment.
