Bengaluru, February 22 Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh has moved the Karnataka High Court challenging the FIR and the quashing of a criminal case registered against him over alleged disrespect towards a 'deity' while imitating the film 'Kantara Chapter-1'.
The controversy revolves around remarks allegedly made by the actor at the Filmfare Awards event in Goa while discussing the film 'Kantara'. He is accused of imitating a Daiva and referring to it as 'devil'.
Based on a complaint lodged by advocate Prashanth, an FIR was registered at the High Grounds police station.
Police had earlier issued notices to Singh in connection with the case.
As there was no response from the actor, the High Grounds police recently initiated steps to proceed with further legal action, police sources said.
