Ranveer Singh will be filing an affidavit, tendering his apology with regard to his mimicry of the ‘daiva’ character in Kantara: Chapter 1 and calling it a “female ghost.” The actor’s counsel made a submission regarding to it before the Karnataka High Court on Tuesday, as per a report in LiveLaw.
The court was hearing the actor's plea to quash an FIR registered against him over his mimicry of a character in the film during the 56th IFFI Festival of India organised by the Government of Goa last year.
During the hearing today de-facto complainant advocate Prashant Methal submitted before Justice M Nagaprasanna that the apology by the actor was an insincere apology.
Prashant said, “Ranveer Singh's apology was not a heartfelt apology...Because he has tweeted his apology from the handle run by his managers.”
At this stage senior advocate Sajan Poovayya appearing for the actor submitted, “We will file an affidavit before the court. We are offering it, my lord.”
The court at this stage orally remarked that what the actor had done was not correct.
Meanwhile Prashant said, “If Mr. Ranveer has orally called the deity a 'female ghost', then he should orally apologise for the same.”
At this stage Sajan submitted, “Your lordship, I will file an affidavit tendering an apology.”
The court at this stage orally remarked, “You will. A mistake has happened. He should always have remorse in the matter...”.
The court further said that this was important because of the magnitude of power that the actor has.
