On Friday (November 28), filmmaker and actor Rishab Shetty and Ranveer Singh attended the IFFI 2025 closing ceremony in Goa. During the ceremony, Ranveer complimented Rishab for his performance in Kantara Chapter 1. However, a video of the incident has gone viral for all the wrong reasons, with some online users accusing Ranveer of mimicking the film`s climactic sequence and referring to the daiva as a `female ghost`.

Here`s what Ranveer Singh said

In the clip, Ranveer can be heard saying: "I watched Kantara Chapter 1 in theatres, and Rishab, it was an outstanding performance, especially when the female ghost (Chamundi daiva) enters your body — that shot was amazing." He then imitated the scene, leaving Rishab in splits. Ranveer also asked the audience whether they wanted to see him in Kantara 3 and urged them to forward the message to Rishab.
