Shah Rukh Khan film โPathaanโ which has landed into controversy since its song โBesharam Rangโ was released, is again in the news for the wrong reasons- this time from Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad (Gujarat): Shah Rukh Khan starrer โPathaanโ which has landed into controversy since its song โBesharam Rangโ was released, is again in the news for the wrong reasons- this time from Ahmedabad.
The members of Bajrang Dal, part of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), on Wednesday created a ruckus at Alpha One Mall in Ahmedabadโs Vastrapur during the promotion of the film. The Bajrang Dal members during their protest tore down pictures of Shahrukh Khan as well as his co-stars. The protesters also threatened the mall authority that if this film is released, then they will start an even fiercer protest.
The protesters were captured in a video damaging property of the mall.
In a video shared by the VHP, protesters could be seen shouting slogans and tearing posters and large cut-outs of Pathaanโs star cast.
The controversy started after Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra, made his objections to one of the songs of the movie Pathan, released as โBesharam Rangโ.
Mishra then told media persons, โThe costumes in the song at first glance are objectionable. It is clearly visible that the song of the film โPathaanโ has been shot with a dirty mindset.โ

Mishraโs statement came two days after the song was released.
Earlier on Tuesday, members of the Hindu Jagran Manch, staged a demonstration at INOX theatre in Madhya Pradeshโs Indore, demanding that the management does not release the movie here.
The protesters raised slogans and submitted a memorandum to the theatre management demanding that the movie Pathaan is not released.
President of Hindu Jagran Manch Jagdish Khatri said, โIf the film Pathaan is released, then there will be a fierce protest. Today, we have given a memorandum to the management of Inox Theater regarding the non-release of the film.โ
Helmed by Siddharth Anand, โPathaanโ is scheduled to release in theatres on January 25.
