Mimicry of a Key Scene Triggers Backlash
Ranveer Singh has come under heavy trolling after he mimicked a crucial scene from Kantara: Chapter 1. According to South Indian fans, Ranveer’s enactment appeared to mock Rishab Shetty and the sacred nature of the scene.
Incident at the Goa Film Festival
Ranveer Singh attended a film festival held in Goa, where Rishab Shetty was also present. While speaking on stage, Ranveer noticed Rishab seated in the audience. He took a moment to appreciate Kantara: Chapter 1 and praised both the film and Rishab Shetty’s performance.
Recreation of the Divine Possession Scene
However, things escalated when Ranveer proceeded to mimic the specific scene in which Rishab Shetty’s character is possessed by a divine spirit. Ranveer performed the intense, devotional moment in a slightly humorous manner, which caused the audience to burst into laughter. Even Rishab Shetty was seen smiling.
But the controversy began when Ranveer described the scene saying, “when that ghost enters him.” Referring to the deity as a “ghost” angered a large number of people.
Nationwide Criticism for Calling the Deity a ‘Ghost’
Ranveer’s mimicry and his choice of words have sparked widespread criticism. Fans—especially from South India—are upset that a divine force portrayed in a blockbuster like Kantara: Chapter 1 was referred to using a disrespectful term. Many are demanding that Ranveer issue a formal apology.

“My intention was only to appreciate Rishab’s Kantara: Chapter 1. I understand how much effort an actor puts into a role, which is why I praised him. But if my words have hurt anyone’s sentiments, I am truly sorry.”
