Mukesh Khanna Wants CBFC To Change Deepika Padukone's Dress In Pathaan

Siddharth Anand's much-awaited film, Pathaan, is all set for a grand release on January 25. The film features Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham in lead roles. The makers of the film released two songs. Out of the two, Besharam Rang saw Deepika's sizzling chemistry with SRK. However, the song courted controversy over Deepika's choice of clothes and many took offense to a particular saffron swimsuit that she wore. Recently, CBFC chairperson said that they had suggested a few changes in the film and will stay unbiased in the process of censoring.

In a video on his YouTube channel, he said, "I have heard that the CBFC is considering removing objectionable bits from the song. I would urge the censor board to be more aware. If any producer intends to attack the Hindu religion, then you are censor board. Someone told me, ‘Sir, CBFC has passed it, what is your objection to it?’ I said, is the censor board Supreme Court? If they don’t have knowledge of the Hindu religion, then they don’t have the right to be in the censor board. We will protest… This is too much now. If the censor board decides to change the words (of the song), that wouldn’t suffice. The entire dress has to be changed. I am with this movement (to boycott the song) so that no producer dares to do this in the future. They will suffer losses and eventually, no producer will do this.”
