In Ahmedabad, posters for Pathaan have been vandalized. The film starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone has drawn criticism from right-wing organizations for two key reasons. First, some people criticize the use of the word Pathaan, while others are offended by Deepika Padukone’s saffron bikini.
The major source of controversy now centers on the Bhagwa bikini. The city’s Ahmedabad One Mall was invaded by Bajrang Dal members. Posters of Pathaan were destroyed. It is in the Karnavati region where the mall is. People’s responses to the video, which has become popular, are conflicting. Deepika Padukone has seen similar demonstrations for her film before.
On January 25, 2023, Pathaan is expected to be released. Beginning in Sankranthi, the movie may be reserved in advance. However, the film’s problematic parts must be changed, and the CBFC has ordered the producers. Many business people in the sector have opposed the action.
NDTV has released the footage, and netizens have criticized those in it by claiming that this isn’t a peaceful demonstration at all. Others questioned how they could fit into such activities. Finally, some have mocked them, claiming that this results from high unemployment in the nation.
The two biggest stars are keeping quiet about the situation. So we’ll have to wait and watch whether Pathaan’s producers decide to truncate the movie. One of the most contentious film-related debates in recent memory must be this one.
