Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s Besharam Rang receives criticism specially from MP’s minister because of Deepika’s saffron Bikini. Various users on social media called for the boycott of Pathaan while some people are demanding to cut scenes from Besharam Rang. Veteran Lyrist Javed Akhtar was speaking at the launch of Jadunama on Monday. In the event, Javed opens up about the whole Pathaan controversy.

Javed Akhtar speaking about the protest over Pathaan in MP said, “If he (the minister) thinks there should be a separate censor board for Madhya Pradesh, they (should) watch the film separately. And if they are unhappy with the Centre's film certification, we should not come in between them, it is between them and the Centre.”

On being asked about the recently constituted 'Dharma Censor Board', Javed said, "There is one censor board in MP, then this is there and one censor board of the centre is also there. What is the problem? We have four-five important 'dharmas' and they should have their censors. Maybe then moulvis (under Islam) will start watching films. Do it, do it!"  He was also asked about how he feels about the song. He said. “ It is not for me or you to decide whether the song is right or wrong. We have an agency.” 

Earlier MP’s Minister Narrotam Mishra said, “I feel the title of the song 'Besharam Rang' is also objectionable in its sense. The song is made with a contaminated mentality, the actor and the actress are clad in green and saffron clothes in an objectionable manner.” The Leader of Opposition in Madhya Pradesh Assembly Govind Singh has also expressed his anger on the costumes in the song. "The scenes of the song and costumes are highly objectionable. Such things are not acceptable in Indian culture." 

Pathaan, marks Shah Rukh Khan’s return to the big screen in over four years. The action thriller also stars John Abraham and is directed by Siddharth Aanand. The film is scheduled to be released in theatres on January 25, 2023. It will be released in Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions apart from Hindi.
