A city-based non-governmental organization (NGO) filed a complaint against Ranveer, based on which a case was registered.
The NGO alleged that Ranveer hurt sentiments of women in general and insulted their modesty by posting his nude photographs.
The much talked-about pictures of Ranveer drew criticism from several quarters, but some fans and Bollywood colleagues like Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, Vidya Balan defended him.
Ranveer’s ‘Cirkus’, also featuring Jacqueline Fernandez and Pooja Hegde, and directed by Rohit Shetty, is scheduled to release during Christmas this year.
