Bollywood actors Ranveer Singh and R. Madhavan are facing legal trouble linked to Dhurandhar 2, after an FIR was filed over a scene involving Gurbani.

The complaint alleges that a sequence showing a character smoking while verses from the Dasam Granth play in the background hurt Sikh religious sentiments.

Madhavan has issued a clarification, calling the controversy a “misunderstanding” and stating the scene was not intended to disrespect any community.

Separately, Ranveer Singh continues to face fallout from the earlier Kantara mimicry controversy at IFFI, with the actor agreeing to file an unconditional apology in court.
