After the burning of Khan's effigy and a call to boycott the film, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) demanded an apology from the actor over the song "Besharam Rang" from his upcoming film Pathan.
The actor claimed that India's social media had grown narrow-minded in his speech in Kolkata. The VHP leader continued, "Instead of apologising, Shahrukh Khan has turned rude," in response to this.
After state minister Narottam Mishra demanded that the film be banned due to "inappropriate scenes" and the usage of saffron costumes, there was a protest.
Discussed bringing a complaint about the movie to the Madhya Pradesh Home Minister. Additionally, there have been protests against the colour of the movie and the song Besharam.
According to rumours, the state government would decide whether or not to approve the film's distribution if the producer-director did not make it better. This warning came from the home minister.
Shishir Chaturvedi, a spokesperson for the All India Hindu Mahasabha, has also urged CM Yogi to restrict the release of the movie Pathan in Uttar Pradesh.
