The first song from the much awaited Pathaan movie, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, was recently published by Yash Raj Films, and it immediately went viral online, though perhaps not for the best reasons. Deepika Padukone is in the centre of a major issue over the movie “Besharam Rang.”
It appears that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has now, albeit subtly, added his voice to the debate over the film.
What did PM Modi say on the issue around the film Pathaan?
The Prime Minister was cited as stating during a speech ” We work hard day and night and then some of us make needless comments about films….. we should refrain from making unnecessary controversial comments”.
The PM’s remarks follow threats and calls for a boycott of the movie by some politicians in response to the “Besharam Rang” scandal. Many Twitter users praised his remarks.

What’s the deal with the Pathaan movie’s Besharam Rang controversy?
While Deepika and Shah Rukh appear extremely stunning in the song, which has a catchy rhythm with Shilpa Rao’s lovely voice that wonderfully complements Vishal and Shekhar’s soundtrack, the choreography of the song and Deepika’s attire, notably a saffron-colored bikini, are drawing mockery. It seems that some people’s religious feelings are being offended by the decision to wear a saffron-colored bikini. These folks are offended by the song’s title, which loosely translates to “shameless colour,” since they associate it with the saffron outfit Deepika is wearing in the music video.
There have been suggestions to have the song removed from the Pathaan movie due to the uproar. Even a written complaint for the same has been submitted by an advocate to the Information & Broadcasting Ministry.
A few disturbing calls for violence against movie theatres have also been made, although thankfully they have been in the minority so far. On the other hand, many individuals have defended the song, Deepika Padukone, and the movie Pathaan by labelling the issue as pointless and frivolous.
What’s the movie Pathaan about?
After Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, and War, Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan is the fourth film in the YRF Spy Universe. Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone portray the major protagonists while John Abraham plays the primary antagonist in the movie. Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan, who are reportedly reprising their roles from the War and Tiger franchises, will also make brief cameo appearances in the movie.
