Mumbai: Actor Ranveer Singh has been warned by WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar’s advocate Paul Heyman for using a phrase made popular by him.
The matter stems from Ranveer using a known phrase that Heyman and Lesnar apparently devised for their time in the WWE. Heyman would root for Lesnar by shouting: “Eat, Sleep, Conquer, Repeat,” every time the latter stepped inside the ring.
The “Padmaavat” star used the phrase with a twist when he posted an image with Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya from the India-Pakistan match at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
Ranveer captioned his photograph along with Pandya: “Eat. Sleep. Dominate. Repeat. The name is Hardik. Hardik Pandya. Hardik Pandya ma boi (my boy), unstoppable.”
This led Heyman to point out on Twitter: “Ranveer Singh are you kidding me? 1 – It’s eat, sleep conquer, repeat. 2 – Copyright #YourHumbleAdvocate and Brock Lesnar. 3 – I am litigious 4 – Eat Sleep Deposition repeat.”
Ranveer is yet to reply to Heyman.
