Shah Rukh Khan starrer faces roadblock in Gujarat; threatened multiplex owners seek government intervention

All eyes are on Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan. The movie is supposed to take a huge opening in the overseas and domestic markets. Drishyam 2 was the last big hit for Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan is making a comeback after four long years. The film has been embroiled in two major controversies. Fringe groups objected to the name Pathaan. But the biggest row has been about the song Besharam Rang. Some people took stern objection to the fact that Deepika Padukone has worn a tangerine coloured bikini in the movie. They felt it insults the Hindu saffron sentiments. The colour is in the same palette as Bhagwa. The CBFC has asked makers to review the movie.

Now, Aaj Tak has reported that the owners of multiplexes have asked the government to intervene. It seems they have complained of many written and verbal threats from such groups that have warned them not to show the movie. Bajrang Dal workers tore down the posters at a mall in Vastrapur some days back. Many people condemned the incident. Something similar happened even during the release of Padmavaat. The movie did not get a release in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The Boycott Bollywood gang have been targeting Pathaan since day one.
