Ranveer Singh Controversy
Ahead of the film's release, Ranveer has got into a controversy after he allegedly mocked Daiva shown in the film Kantara. On Tuesday, the actor took to Instagram to share a statement about it.
He posted, "My intention was to highlight Rishab's incredible performance in the film. Actor to actor, I know how much it would take to perform that particular scene in the way that he did, for which he has my utmost admiration. I have always deeply respected every culture, tradition and belief in our country. If I've hurt anyone's sentiments, I sincerely apologise (sic)."
