Why is there controversy over Pathan?
On December 12, the makers of Pathan released the first song Besharam Rang featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika. For some time in this song, a controversy broke out regarding the color of the bikini that Deepika wore. It was alleged that Deepika wore a saffron bikini, which hurt the faith of Hindus.
Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra also gave a statement in this matter and demanded changes. Apart from them, many organizations including Vishwa Hindu Parishad opposed it. The Madhya Pradesh Ulema Board also demanded a ban on the film for misrepresenting Islam. Pathan will be released on 25 January 2023.
