Ranveer Singh Faces Backlash for Mimicking Rishab Shetty Kantara Scene
Ranveer Singh has once again become the center of online discussion—this time for a reason he probably didn’t expect. A recent clip of the actor imitating a popular scene from Rishab Shetty’s blockbuster Kantara has gone viral, but instead of applause, it has triggered a wave of criticism.
What Happened at IFFI?
During his appearance at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, Ranveer attempted to recreate the intense moment featuring ‘Guliga Daiva’ and Chaundi from Kantara. In a playful mood, he squinted his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and tried mimicking the high-pitched scream that the sequence is known for.
While Rishab Shetty laughed off the moment on stage, a large section of the internet wasn’t amused. – Ranveer Singh Faces Backlash for Mimicking Rishab Shetty Kantara Scene
Social Media Reacts Strongly
The video quickly spread across social platforms, sparking backlash against the actor. Several users felt Ranveer’s antics were unnecessary, exaggerated, and disrespectful toward the sacred representation in the film.
Comments poured in such as:
-
“Ranveer’s reaction to the Kantara scene was totally uncalled for and disrespectful.”
-
“He behaves like a ‘chhapri’ in public. Someone needs to remind him he’s an A-list actor.”
-
“He’s talented, no doubt, but these over-the-top gestures just make him look like a clown.”
Even his light-hearted question—whether he should be cast in Kantara 3—did not go down well with many viewers, who felt the moment was inappropriate. – Ranveer Singh Faces Backlash for Mimicking Rishab Shetty Kantara Scene
Meanwhile, Rishab Shetty Continues to Shine
While Ranveer faces online heat, Rishab Shetty is enjoying widespread acclaim for his latest film, Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1. Serving as a prequel to the original hit, the film explores the deep-rooted conflict between the tribal community and the Bangara dynasty in the mystical land of Kantara.
Gulshan Devaiah portrays King Kulshekhar, while Rishab Shetty steps into the role of Burme, the valiant leader of his people. The movie has been praised for its powerful storytelling, compelling performances, and striking visuals—further strengthening the franchise’s growing legacy.
