Pathaan movie: Activists of the organization staged a protest against the upcoming Bollywood film “Pathaan” and its song “Besharam Rang” in the Madhya Pradesh city of Indore on Wednesday.
“Veer Shivaji Group” activists gathered at the road junction and erected effigies of the actors Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan in flames.
They demanded a ban on the film, which was scheduled to hit the screens in January next year, claiming that the Hindu community felt offended by the content of the song “Besharam Rang”.

Earlier in the day, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra protested against Padukone’s costume in the song “Pathaan” and also frowned at the color of Padukone’s outfit and lead actor Shah Rukh Khan, asking for its “correction”.
Mishra said that if some scenes in the song are not “corrected”, the government will consider what to do about the screening of the film in Madhya Pradesh.
Earlier, the home minister performed a puja at the birthplace of Lord Parshuram at Janapav Kuti near Mhow and later focused on the film and song.
