Pathaan film is grabbing headlines because of the huge controversy around Besharam Rang. Many fringe Hindus complained that an orange bikini in the Besharam song is hurtful to the sentiments of Hindus. Effigies of the actors are being burnt, individuals are doing dharnas and politicians are making comments left right and centre. Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan are not new to controversy. The actress has experienced the drill with Padmaavat once. Here is how the noise around Pathaan is reminiscent of the same.
Indeed, both movies start with the letter P. In addition, Pathaan is scheduled to release on January 25, 2023. In 2018, Padmaavat was released on January 25.
The producers of Padmaavat needed to at last change the name to Padmaavat because of the protests around Padmavati. The Muslim identity with the name Pathaan is likewise causing issues here. Indeed, even a Muslim Board has complained about objectionable content.
Shah Rukh Khan in a quite subtle way told everybody at Kolkata Film Celebration that he was unbothered by the mob frenzy. Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone likewise kept quiet before the release.
We came to know about the Karni Sena when the sets of Padmaavat were vandalized. Karni Sena was also active in the case of Pathaan. They stopped the shoot of Dunki near Bhedaghat in Madhya Pradesh.
