Superstar Ranveer Singh is currently in the headlines for his recent controversy. Last year, during the closing ceremony of the 56th Goa Film Festival, Ranveer Singh mimicked the ‘Daiva’ scene of the film on stage in front of Kantara Chapter 1 actor Rishabh Shetty.
Entertainment News: Actor Ranveer Singh’s name has been in the news for quite some time due to the ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ mimicry controversy. On Tuesday, this case was heard in the Karnataka High Court, in which the court reprimanded Ranveer Singh and made it clear that no one has the right to hurt the religious sentiments of any artist or talent. While giving this direction, the court stressed the need to remain alert on sensitive issues in the society.
However, the Court also granted relief to Ranveer Singh and refused to take any coercive or strict action against him. This decision of the Court ensures that the rights and constitutional protections of artists are respected even in controversial circumstances.

The case was heard in the Karnataka High Court on 24 February 2026. The court reprimanded Ranveer Singh and said that talent or popularity is not above any law. The court clarified that being an actor, Ranveer’s responsibility increases further, because his words and actions influence people.
