Pathaan posters have been vandalized in Ahmedabad. Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s film was criticized by right-wing groups for two main reasons. Some are protesting the name Pathaan while others have a problem with the saffron-colored bikini worn by Deepika Padukone. The Bhagwa bikini became the main point of contention. Members of Bajrang Dal stormed the city’s Ahmedabad One mall. They destroyed Pathaan posters. The mall is located in the Karnavati region. The video which is now viral is getting mixed reactions from people. This is not the first time that Deepika Padukone has seen such protests for her film.
Pathaan is scheduled for release on January 25, 2023. Early bookings for the film will start from Sankranthi. The CBFC asked the directors to review the film and its objectionable scenes. This decision was criticized by many people in the industry.

The two top stars are mom on this. Let’s see if the creators of Pathaan make any cuts in the movie or not. This has got to be one of the most debatable controversies around movies in recent times.
