Karnataka High Court gives Ranveer Singh Protection till March 2 in the Kantara Mimicry Case. The Karnataka High Court has stepped in and given Ranveer Singh temporary protection in the Kantara mimicry case. He cannot be arrested until March 2. That said, the court made it very clear that this relief does not mean approval of his actions.

On Tuesday, Justice M Nagaprasanna firmly stated that celebrity status does not give anyone the freedom to mock religious beliefs. The judge was stern in his remarks, stating that he may be Ranveer Singh or anybody. He can’t be loose-tongued at all. However, it was pointed out that as an actor with influence over many people, responsibility is expected. It was also stated that when speaking about a deity, proper understanding and research should be ensured, and such a figure cannot be referred to as a ghost. The court observed that religious sentiments cannot be hurt. Although an apology has been issued by Ranveer Singh, it was noted that spoken words cannot simply be erased, especially in the digital age, where content remains accessible.

The judge further noted that Rishab Shetty was performing as a deity, Goddess Chamundy. Referring to the act as a female ghost and mimicking Rishab Shetty, the court said, could hurt religious sentiments. The message from the bench was clear. Public figures are expected to exercise restraint in matters of faith.

The controversy began at the International Film Festival of India in Goa last November. During the closing ceremony, Ranveer Singh went on stage and imitated Rishab Shetty’s daiva performance from Kantara. He made exaggerated expressions and referred to the daivas as ghosts. Rishab Shetty was present at the event and reportedly tried to stop him once on stage and again when they met later.

Senior Advocate Sajan Poovayy appeared for Ranveer Singh in court. He argued that the comments were misunderstood and that there was no intention to hurt the sentiments of any community.

For now, Ranveer Singh has protection from arrest until March 2. He has been directed to cooperate with the investigation. The case has quickly turned into a larger conversation about how celebrities handle religious and cultural subjects in public spaces.

Ranveer Singh debuted with Band Baaja Baaraat, and he has given multiple hits since then. Later on, he starred in major movies such as Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat, and Gully Boy, and successfully established himself as one of the biggest stars in the industry. He has won numerous awards, such as the Filmfare Awards. Talking about his upcoming work, Dhurandhar 2: The revenge teaser is out now and is set to release on 19th March, 2026.
