Mumbai police have registered a case against Shahrukh Khan's new movie "Pathaan." The case was filed following a complaint that a song in the film was against Hinduism. The complainant is Sanjay Tiwari, a native of Mumbai. The complaint is that the film insults Hinduism.
Bihar Muzaffar Nagar CJM has also filed a petition to ban the screening of the film. Madhya Pradesh's Ulema Board has also come forward, demanding the ban on "Pathan." It is alleged that the film insults the Pathaan sect among Muslims. Madhya Pradesh Ulama Board president Syed Anas Ali demanded a nationwide ban on the film.
The song "Besharam Rang" from the film was released a few days ago. Deepika wore a saffron-coloured bikini in a song scene from the film. The controversy arose because of this. Hindu organisations also claimed that saffron used in the song is to insult Hinduism.
