The controversy surrounding the upcoming Bollywood movie Pathaan, starring Deepika Padukone, has been growing since news broke of her involvement in the project.
There was a growing demand to remove the Orange Bikini from the song and some say that the song is vulgar and sensuous. The director explained that it was an orange bikini and not saffron as alleged by the BJP.
The controversy stems from the fact that the movie is being produced by Yash Raj Films, a production house owned by the powerful Aditya Chopra, who is related to the ruling political party in India.
This has sparked a debate on social media, with some accusing the production house of attempting to promote their own political agenda. However, others are defending the movie, saying it is an entertaining action-thriller and should not be judged based on the producer’s political affiliations.
Deepika herself has remained silent on the issue.
The Pathan movie starring Shah Rukh Khan and directed by Siddharth Anand is currently in the pre-production stage. The film is being produced by Yash Raj Films and is expected to release in January 2023.
The story is said to focus on the life of a Pathan family living in India and the struggles they face. The film is said to explore the concept of identity and how it shapes the lives of those living in India.
The cast of the movie includes Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, and Jackie Shroff. The music for the film is composed by Vishal-Shekhar.
There is a chance that some BJP leaders might go to court to stop the movie in the name of vulgarity.
