Activists of an outfit staged a protest against the upcoming Bollywood film Pathaan and its song Besharam Rang in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore on Wednesday. The protest came hours after state minister Narottam Mishra called for a ban on the movie over “objectionable scenes” and the use of saffron costumes.

The activists of Veer Shivaji Group gathered at a road intersection and set effigies of actors Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan on fire, PTI reported.

They too demanded a ban on the film, set to hit the screens in January next year, alleging the Hindu community was offended by the content of the Besharam Rang song.

The first song, Besharam Rang, from one of the most anticipated films of 2023, Pathaan, dropped recently. And it soon became a talking point after Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra frowned upon the colour of the attire of Padukone and lead actor Shah Rukh Khan, calling for its “rectification”.

Mishra said if certain scenes in the song are not “corrected”, the government will consider what to do about the screening of the movie in the state.

Notably, Narottam Mishra in October warned the makers of the Bollywood film Adipurush, based on the epic Ramayana, of legal action if scenes showing Hindu religious figures in the “wrong” way are not removed.
