A first information report (FIR) has been registered against Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh in Bengaluru for allegedly mocking the Daiva ritual sequence from Rishab Shetty 's Kantara: Chapter 1.
The FIR states that Singh's stage performance portrayed sacred Daiva traditions in a "crass, humorous, and disparaging" manner.
The complaint explains that Chavundi Daiva is a revered guardian deity worshiped in Karnataka's coastal districts and represents divine feminine energy.
The advocate had earlier filed a private complaint on December 27 last year before the Additional Judicial Magistrate in Bengaluru.
Following this, on January 23, the court directed High Grounds Police Station to register a formal FIR under various sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
