Pathaan has been stirring up controversies for a while now. Soon after the song ‘Besharam Rang’ was released, Pathaan was criticised for hurting Hindu sentiments. The actress was spotted wearing an orange bikini in the song and political leaders and extremists have slammed the makers for making her wear a “saffron” colour, which is the colour of Hinduism, in a song titled ‘Besharam Rang’ which hurt Hindu sentiments. Some have also attacked the film for promoting “love jihad” as it has a Hindu actress starring opposite a Muslim actor.
