Yash Raj Films just released the first song from the eagerly awaited Pathan movie, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, and it went viral online—though perhaps not for the good reasons

With Deepika Padukone in the centre of the storm, Besharam Rang has sparked a significant uproar. Here is what we do know.

While the song's melody is fairly popular, its dancing and Deepika's attire—specifically, a saffron-colored bikini—have drawn criticism.

Apparently, the choice of using a saffron-coloured bikini is hurting the religious sentiments of some people.

Many fans are offended by the song's title, which translates to "shameless colour," since they associate it with the saffron outfit Deepika is wearing in the music video.

Calls to have the song removed from the Pathan movie due to the controversy have been made. Even a written complaint for the same was sent by an advocate to the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting.

On the other hand, many individuals have defended the song, Deepika Padukone, and the movie Pathan by labelling the debate as unimportant and silly.
