The controversy erupted following a viral video in which Ranveer mimicked Rishabh Shetty’s intense Daiva-possession sequence from the film during a recent event. Many fans and followers of the age-old tradition expressed disappointment, stating that the ritual holds deep spiritual meaning and should not be used for entertainment purposes.

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,” he wrote.

Ranveer further expressed that he holds India’s diverse cultural heritage in high regard and would never deliberately disrespect any belief, tradition, or community. “I have always deeply respected every culture, tradition and belief in our country. If I’ve hurt anyone’s sentiments, I sincerely apologise,” he added.

Fans appreciated his acknowledgment and quick clarification, while many also defended the actor, stating that his gesture was harmless and rooted in admiration. Meanwhile, supporters of Kantara’s cultural significance have urged public figures to be more mindful when referencing sacred practices.
