ANI tweeted, ‘Nude photoshoot controversy | Chembur police station had summoned actor Ranveer Singh asking him to appear tomorrow. The actor has sought 2 weeks time to appear, now fresh summons will be sent by Chembur police after fixing a new date: Mumbai Police.’

A non-government organisation and a Mumbai-based lawyer submitted separate applications to the Chembur police, seeking that an offence be registered against Ranveer last month. The actor had been booked for sale of obscene material and insulting a woman’s modesty under the Indian Penal Code, along with publication of sexually explicit material under the Information Technology Act.

While he has been receiving backlash from the public, his friends and Bollywood counterparts have been showering support for the actor. Celebrities like Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, Vidya Balan, Twinkle Khanna, Swara Bhasker, Pooja Bedi, Ram Gopal Varma and others have come out in defense of the actor on social media.
