Madhya Pradesh: Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer Pathaan has been embroiled in controversies even before its release. The song ‘Besharam Rang’ from the film has been released recently. There is a mixed response regarding this. Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan’s sensuous dance steps are being trolled in this song.
In the song, Deepika is seen wearing a saffron dress that has irked some sections of society. Madhya Pradesh’s Home Minister Narottam Mishra has even said that if the costume is not changed, he will consider whether to allow the film to be released in the state or not.
Deepika Padukone is looking very bold and erotic in this song. In this song released two days ago, Deepika is seen in a bikini, that too of saffron colour. At the same time, this song is being accused of stealing the tune of Jain’s Mariba song.
Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra said that prima facie the costumes used in the song are highly objectionable. “It is clearly visible that this song was filmed due to a corrupt mindset. Anyway, Deepika Padukone ji has been a supporter of the Tukde-Tukde gang in the JNU case. For this reason, I would request that the visuals should be fixed. Fix the costumes, otherwise, whether this film will be allowed or not in Madhya Pradesh, it will be a question to be considered,” Narottam Mishra said in a statement.
Objections are being raised on social media regarding Deepika’s clothes. Social media users have accused Shah Rukh Khan of defaming the color saffron. A user wrote, “Shahrukh Khan’s film ‘Pathan’ is depicting the sacred saffron color as ‘shameless colour’. On one side Shah Rukh Khan is going to Mata Vaishno Devi, and on the other hand, filming obscene scenes with saffron colour by calling it ‘besharam rang’.”
BJP leader Arun Yadav has also attacked Shahrukh while supporting the Boycott Pathaan hashtag. Some other users have also said that this film should be boycotted. Pathaan is slated to release on Jan 25 next year.
