‘Kantara’ was a blockbuster at the box office

Let us tell you that ‘Kantara’ is a blockbuster Kannada film released in the year 2022, which was directed by Rishabh Shetty and was also seen in the lead role. Its story revolves around the folk traditions of Karnataka, the relationship between man and forest and faith in God. After this, the film’s prequel ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ was released in 2025, which proved to be a superhit at the box office. The film was highly appreciated for its unique story and powerful climax.

Actor Ranveer Singh is in controversy regarding mimicry of the scene involving God in the film ‘Kantara 2’. Ranveer Singh has currently got relief from Karnataka High Court. However, the court also reprimanded him. During the hearing held on February 24, the Karnataka High Court said that being a popular actor, he should be responsible for his words and behavior.

The bench of Justice M Nagaprasanna has stayed any coercive action against Ranveer Singh till the next hearing on March 2. At present the police will not be able to take any strict action.

Judge reprimands Ranveer Singh

During the hearing, the judge said that an actor does not have the right to hurt anyone’s religious sentiments. Whether you are a big star or anyone else, public responsibility applies equally to everyone. Calling Ranveer ‘careless’, he said that what is said on the internet never gets erased completely. Words can be taken back, but the content put into the digital world is always there. Therefore, while speaking on a public platform, one should speak very thoughtfully. However, whether the matter was done intentionally or not will be decided in the further hearing.

Advocate Sajan Poovayya, appearing for Ranveer, argued that the actor did not intend to hurt anyone’s sentiments. There is a difference between negligence and intentional crime. This case has been registered under those sections of the Indian Justice Code (BNS) 2023, which are related to hurting religious sentiments and spreading hatred.

What is the whole matter?

Let us tell you, last year in the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, Ranveer Singh copied the scene of Daiva from the Kannada film Kantara Chapter 1. This film is of actor-director Rishabh Shetty and it shows a sacred ritual related to ‘Daiva’. It is alleged that Ranveer mimicked that character and called Daiva a ‘ghost’, which spread resentment among the people. During the program, Rishabh Shetty had also hinted at him not to do so. However, this video went viral on social media and many people called it an insult to religious sentiments. As the controversy escalated, Ranveer Singh also apologized to everyone.

The year 2025 was very exciting for Indian cinema. Every month big and small films were released in theaters and many times several films came face to face on the same day. Some films won the hearts of the audience and proved to be superhits, while some defied expectations.

But this year, the biggest discussion at the box office was about Ranveer Singh’s film ‘Dhurandhar’ and James Cameron’s Hollywood film ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’. Fans and critics are very excited about the head-to-head competition between the films.
