The most anticipated Shah Rukh Khan starrer film Pathaan is about to shine on the screen on 25 January. With the release date near the first song of the film, Besharam Rang was released and disappointed many fans even the home minister Narottam Mishra.
As quoted by the news agency ANI, the minister said,
The costumes in the song at first glance are objectionable. It is clearly visible that the song of the film Pathaan has been shot with a dirty mindset. I don’t think this is right, and I will tell the director and makers of the film to fix it. Earlier also Deepika Padukone came in the support of Tukde Tukde Gang at JNU and that’s why her mentality has come in front of everyone before.
The minister, while politicizing the track, added, “And that is why I believe that the name of this song Besharam Rang is also objectionable in itself and the way saffron and green have been worn, the colors of the song, the lyrics and the title of the film are not peaceful. It needs improvement.
He later threatened that if changes have not been made then the film will not be allowed to release in Madhya Pradesh.
Earlier, Chandrashekhar Tiwari, President of the Indian party Sanskriti Bachao Manch, also protested against the song and members of his group protested against the lead actors.
Chandrashekhar Tiwari said, “This is an insult to our saffron dress, which Sanskruti Bachao Manch will not tolerate. Shahrukh Khan, when Hindus started boycotting your film, you remembered Vaishno devi. Before the release of your film, you are going to Vaishno Devi.”
He added, “You will have to apologize to all Hindus and remove the song from this film because the people of India made you a superstar. Shahrukh Khan, why are you always degrading your image by doing such acts? You should apologize to all Sanatan Dharma believers.”
Indian media also reported that several protests were staged against the film as well. The outlet reported that a group named Veer Shivaji group planned protests on the streets, at a road intersection, in Indore where they burnt the figures of Khan. Radicals have been protesting that saffron or Bhagwa is the color of Hinduism and its usage in a seductive song is derogatory.

Deepika Padukone has found support from Prakash Raj. The Kannada actor who has been critical of the radicalization of entertainers said the outrage was disgusting. He is being trolled for the same but he said that people who found the bikini in Bhagwa are color-blind.
