An FIR was filed at Mumbai's Chembur Police Station, on Ranveer under IPC Portions 292 (Sale of obscene literature, etc.), 293, 509, and sections of the IT Act. For the uninitiated, an NGO called Shyam Mangaram organization filed a suit alleging that Ranveer's nude photos affected the sentiments of women. “Last week we saw many nude photographs were clicked in such a manner that any male or female will feel ashamed about it,” a portion of the complaint said, underlining that such activities need to be opposed.

On the work front, Ranveer recently appeared alongside Bear Grylls in the Netflix interactive special Ranveer vs Wild, and he now has a flurry of projects in his kitty.

The actor will appear alongside Jacqueline Fernandes and Pooja Hegde in Rohit Shetty's Cirkus, which is scheduled to release in the latter half of the year. It is said to be an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors.

Ranveer will also feature in Karan Johar's dramedy Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, whose lineup comprises Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, and Jaya Bachchan.
