Overview
- Ranveer Singh, at a Karnataka High Court hearing on Friday, agreed to consult the complainant and file a revised apology affidavit, with the case now set for April 23.
- The complainant argued the filed affidavit showed no genuine remorse and warned they would press for trial if a proper apology is not submitted.
- The case stems from an FIR under new criminal-law provisions on religious insult, with the High Court earlier staying coercive steps and stressing the need for remorse from a public figure.
- The dispute traces to IFFI 2025 in Goa, where Singh mimicked Kantara and referred to Chamundi daiva as a 'female ghost,' after which he posted an apology and offered to visit the Mysuru temple to pray.
- The next step hinges on a remorseful affidavit acceptable to the complainant, which could resolve the FIR without trial if the court finds it satisfactory.
