Criticizing actor Deepika Padukone for her outfits in her upcoming film Pathaan, MP Home Minister Narottam Mishra indicated a possible prohibition of the film in the State.
Referring to the film’s recently released track Besharam Rang, Mr. Mishra — who is the official spokesperson for the State government and has often taken aim at various films and filmmakers for what he considers “objectionable content” in the past — demanded that such “visuals be corrected.”
“The outfits worn in the song are prima facie highly objectionable. Polluted minds are behind filming this song. In any case, Deepika ji has been a supporter of the tukde-tukde gang in the JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) incident.
That is why I would like to request that they correct the visuals of the song, correct the costumes, or else the permission to release this film in MP should be given or not is a thinkable question,” Mr. Mishra told journalists.

The JNU reference was in the context of Ms. Padukone’s visit to the University in January 2020 to express solidarity with the students who were attacked by a mob a few days earlier.
The video of the song above was released earlier this week and, since then, has raked in over 36 million views on YouTube.
