Besharam Rang Song: Gujarat Bajrang Dal Members Vandalise Theatre Over Pathaan’s Release

There was an uproar in Ahmedabad on Wednesday during the promotion of Shah Rukh Khan`s film Pathaan. Members of the Bajrang Dal barged into a mall and vandalized the theater. The workers tore the posters of the film Pathaan and threatened not to release the film. The controversy surrounds the movie`s newly released song ‘Besharam Rang’. The song features Shah Rukh and Deepika romancing in Spain. Right-wing groups and some BJP leaders have demanded a ban on the song and the film as they feel offended by the saffron colored outfits worn by Deepika in the song. Following the outrage, the censor board has directed the filmmakers to implement a few “changes” in the film including the songs. The movie is scheduled to hit theatres on January 25.
