Karnataka HC Disposes Case Against Ranveer Singh Following Apology and Undertaking to Visit Chamundi Hill

Karnataka HC accepted an unconditional apology from actor Ranveer Singh regarding his controversial mimicry of a deity depicted in Kantara.

The Court recorded Singh’s undertaking to visit the Chamundi Hill Temple in Mysore within four weeks as an act of making amends for his remarks made at the International Film Festival of India.

While the actor maintained he had no intention of hurting religious sentiments, the Court emphasized the impact of a celebrity's words and noted it would include an admonishment in its final order to deter similar conduct.

The criminal proceedings under the BNS were disposed of in light of the affidavit.
