Bengaluru, Feb. 24 -- Actor Ranveer Singh has moved the Karnataka High Court seeking to quash a first information report (FIR) registered against him over remarks made during an appearance at the closing ceremony of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa in November.
Singh has challenged an order passed on January 23 this year, by the ACJM, Bengaluru, directing the police to initiate investigation under Section 175(3) of BNSS following a complaint by an advocate. The complaint pertains to Singh's reaction to the film Kantara and mimicry of a character.
Singh said his mimicry of a character from the film was an "honest appreciation" that had wrongly been given a "criminal colour".
