Ranveer Singh’s latest picture sparks controversy over ‘religion’

And fans are furious!

Ranveer Singh's upcoming venture, Sanjay Leela Bhansali helmed Padmavati has been scoring headlines since quite a while now - but not for its dreamy sequences, majestic songs or terrific sets! It’s all been due to the controversies this historic movie has sparked.

While the movie has been under fire for it's content and story with some religious groups in India and the Rajput clan, the Befikre star's latest dissension isn’t really helping the burning matter.



Ranveer took to social media to share a picture of himself - which is great - but then there’s a catch - or a caption if you will!

The caption of the image reads: "Losing my religion."

Without knowing the true meaning of the caption, the actor was trolled horribly. Let us tell you that Losing My Religion is an iconic song by American rock-band REM.

Common knowledge...it's a song by famous REM and means you're done with things that fed you up. It's not to be taken literally.

However, many were unaware of the meaning of his caption and took the Bajirao Mastani star's caption in bad taste.

This things will lead to disastrous results to your movies. Remember, your's existence is from people of India. Don't try to act foolish. May be this movie would work for you but next will fail as India never forgives.
