Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh is currently facing a total industry freeze-out after exiting the highly anticipated film Don 3. Right in the middle of this career crisis, Singh arrived at the Chamundeshwari Temple atop Chamundi Hills in Mysuru at around 7:30 am on Tuesday. Wearing a mask to conceal his identity, he offered special prayers for about 10 minutes before temple staff finally recognized him.
He made the quiet visit to comply with a recent Karnataka High Court directive that ordered him to visit the shrine and issue a public apology regarding Rishab Shetty’s performance to make amends. The court accepted his unconditional apology and formally quashed the FIR filed against him under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for hurting religious sentiments, verifying his 7:30 am arrival and the specific charges.
The original legal trouble started back at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa in November 2025. During the closing ceremony, Singh allegedly performed an exaggerated mimicry of the sacred Daiva sequence from Shetty’s hit film Kantara. He erroneously referred to the revered deity as a “ghost” or “devil,” which prompted a Bengaluru-based advocate to file the initial complaint. While that specific legal headache is now resolved, Singh is walking straight back into an industry firestorm.
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) just hit the actor with a severe non-cooperation directive. Producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani filed a formal complaint over his sudden exit from Don 3. As a result, the FWICE declared that its workforce of over four lakh workers, including cameramen, spot boys, and lightmen, will completely boycott collaborating with the actor until the financial dispute is cleared. Even as he refuses to engage further on the Don 3 controversy, the union ban effectively halts his immediate production schedule.
