For the unknown, the Gully Boy star recently made the headlines after he posed nude for a photoshoot in a magazine. While many praised his bold and artistic demeanor, others were left offended by the “obscene” pictures. 

The FIR against the star was filed after a Mumbai-based Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) had approached the Chembur police with a complaint against him. Based on it, the police registered the FIR against Singh under various Indian Penal Code Sections like 292 (sale of obscene books, etc), 293 (sale of obscene objects to young people), 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) and provisions of the Information Technology Act. 

The viral pictures from the photoshoot which was clicked for Paper magazine showed him nude lying on a rug recreating Burt Reynold's famous photograph. While others showed him posing for various pictures while flaunting his chiseled body. 

The case filed earlier against him claimed that the actor "has nothing to do with the Indian culture" and only wishes to "earn crores of rupees by damaging cultures and traditions" of the country. He was accused of sharing "sexually explicit" material through his nude photoshoot by the complainant. 

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ranveer Singh is currently shooting for his next film Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani with Alia Bhatt. He will also be seen in Rohit Shetty's next directorial film Cirkus with Jacqueline Fernandes and Pooja Hegde. The film is slated to release on the occasion of Christmas 2022.
