Controversy
Hindus
The song "Besharam Rang" became controversial after right wing Hindu groups alleged that the song promotes obscenity and it disrespects the saffron colour as Padukone features in a saffron bikini in the song.[44] Madhya Pradesh home minister Narottam Mishra called the song objectionable and warned that his government may consider banning the film if costumes in the song are not corrected.[45] Shahrukh Khan's effigies and posters were burnt in various cities of MP as a symbol of protest against the film.[46] TV actor Mukesh Khanna questioned the Censor Board for passing the song despite obscenity.[47] The News Minute termed the entire controversy as "shameless misreading for jingoism" and stated that there were five different costumes worn by Padukone in the song and the Hindu groups are hyping the orange bikini scene which features merely for 20 seconds as it suits their agenda.[48]
Muslims
A Muslim organization also objected to the song.[49] As per an India Today report, the Ulema Board has expressed that the film is disrespecting a 'highly respectable community– Pathaans'. The board's president Syed Anas Ali objected to the 'obscenity' in the movie and also said that the All India Muslim Festival Committee has boycotted the film.[50]
On 29 December 2022, the Central Board of Film Certification asked the filmmakers to make some changes in the film, including in its songs citing culture and faith.[51]
