In a tweet, Mishra called actor Deepika Padukone a supporter of the tukde-tukde gang. “The costumes are highly objectionable, and the song was shot with a dirty mindset,” he said.
Madhya Pradesh Home Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Narottam Mishra has objected to actor Deepika Padukone’s attire in the ‘Besharam Rang’ album song from Pathan, which also stars Shah Rukh Khan.
“Pathaan will not be released in Madhya Pradesh unless the outfits and scenes in the film are changed, the actor has disrespected the religious colour (saffron colour). The visuals in songs reflect the mentality of makers of the film,” said the Minister.
Further Minister Narottam Mishra added that the costumes and scenes should be corrected or deleted. Otherwise, the Madhya Pradesh government will have to take a call on whether the film should be banned.

The minister was enraged by the film’s use of saffron bikini that is being worn by actor Deepika Padukone in Besharam Rang album song.
Narottam Mishra’s statement came after a song, “Besharam Rang”, featuring actor Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer was released on December 12.
Narottam Mishra is not the only one who has criticised the song Just after the release of the song ‘BoycottPathan’ was trending on Twitter. Netizens slammed the songs calling it”against Indian culture” and “vulgar”.
Earlier in October, Mishra had also warned the makers of the Bollywood film “Adipurush”, based on the Ramayana, of legal action if scenes showing Hindu religious figures in the “wrong” way are not removed.
In July, he told the police to file a case over a poster of filmmaker Leena Manimekalai’s documentary ‘Kaali’ after outrage from rightwing groups.
The Movie Pathan is scheduled to release next year, on January 25.
