Pathaan Row: Shaktimaan actor Mukesh Khanna slams ‘Besharam Rang’; calls it ‘provocative’

Mukesh Khanna is provaocated by Besharam Rang song from the movie Pathaan.

The Shaktiman actor questioned Censor Board for passing the song ‘Besharam Rang’ and termed the song as ‘vulgar’.

He said that such a song should not be passed in India.

‘Besharam Rang’ song has been bashed by many celebrities and politicians over the use of the colour saffron for Deepika Padukone’s bikini.

Expressing his thoughts, Khanna said, “I think our film industry has gone haywire. This is a matter of vulgarity; it has nothing to do with any kind of religious problem. The censor board is no Supreme Court. They tell me very prominent people but can they not see all these attacks on the Hindu religion?”

He said, “Our country is no Spain or Sweden or such a country that allows everything. You dared to bring people in such limited clothing, next you will bring them without the clothes! The job of the censor board is to ensure that films do not hurt anyone's personal feelings and beliefs."

"The censor must not pass such films that instigate or lead the youth astray. This song can mess up with the minds of the youth, not mislead. This is not a song made for the OTT, but a film. How could the censor pass it? Did they not see the deliberate provocative dressing?”
