Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan make for the hottest pair in the recently released song Besharam Rang from Pathaan. Shot in Spain, the song presents the superstars in their sensuous and fittest best. While Besharam Rang is receiving love from fans across the globe, it couldn't stay away from a controversy created in Madhya Pradesh.
According to reports, a group of activists, said to be belonging to Veer Shivaji Group, staged a protest against Besharam Rang in Indore on Wednesday. Reportedly, they gathered at a road intersection and set effigies of Deepika and Shah Rukh on fire. The activists demanded a ban on Pathaan. As per reports, they claimed the usage of saffron-coloured outfits in the song offended the sentiments of the Hindu community.
Earlier in the day, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra threatened to ban Pathaan in the state if the outfits and objectionable scenes are not modified in the film. In a video, he said if the demands are met, he would consider releasing the action entertainer in Madhya Pradesh.
