फिल्म #Pathan के गाने में टुकड़े-टुकड़े गैंग की समर्थक अभिनेत्री दीपिका पादुकोण की
वेशभूषा बेहद आपत्तिजनक है और गाना दूषित मानसिकता के साथ फिल्माया गया है।
गाने के दृश्यों व वेशभूषा को ठीक किया जाए अन्यथा फिल्म को मध्यप्रदेश में अनुमति दी जाए या नहीं दी जाए,यह विचारणीय होगा। pic.twitter.com/Ekl20ClY75

Mishra’s remarks followed the release of the song “Besharam Rang”. He called Deepika’s bikini “highly objectionable” and added that the premise of the song was based on “contaminated mentality”.

This is not the first time that Deepika’s work has been questioned by the Madhya Pradesh government. Her previous movie ‘Padmaavat’ directed and produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali mired a controversy in November 2017.
