Ranveer Singh ‘Kantara’ controversy is from February

In the latest hearing, his lawyer also expressed his wish that the actor visit Chamundi Temple in Mysore and apologize in person. This was presented as a step towards addressing the concerns raised in the complaint.
Objections raised by the complainant
However, the complaining party did not agree with this view. Advocate Prashant Methal argued that the apology sought so far lacked seriousness. He pointed out that Ranveer Singh had only issued an apology through an Instagram post and had not apologized verbally. According to him, the move did not reflect genuine remorse or a heartfelt apology. Ranveer Singh, who plays Indian spy Hamza Ali Mazari (also known as Jaskirat Singh Rangi) in ‘Dhurandhar 2’, had apologized on social media after the controversy over that scene.
After hearing the arguments from both the sides, the Karnataka High Court fixed April 10 for hearing the case.
