BJP MLA chimes in on Besharam Rang controversy: ‘Any film that disrespects Hindutva…’

He added, “But it is certain, any film or serial that disrespects Hindutva in Maharashtra will not work. JNU-dhari people are trying to disrespect Janeu-dhari people, isn’t this offensive?” He concluded his tweets with “Jai Shri Ram.”

#पठाण फिल्म को देश के कई #साधू #संत #महात्मा सहित social media पर भी कई #हिंदू संघटन तथा करोडो लोग इस फिल्म को कडा विरोध कर रहे है

महाराष्ट्र मे वर्तमान मे #हिंदुत्व विचारधारा वाली सरकार है . बेहतर होगा फिल्म निर्माता तथा दिग्दर्शक सामने आकार जो आपत्तीजनक बाते साधू संतो

At the opening ceremony of Kolkata International Film Festival, SRK had spoken about the negativity on social media and said, “I read somewhere negativity increases social media consumption and thereby increases its commercial value as well. Such pursuits enclose the collective narrative, making it divisive and destructive.”

Earlier, Mishra had pointed out that Deepika’s saffron costume and SRK’s green costume in the song is objectionable and he wants the makers to change it. He added that if the changes are not made, Pathaan’s release in Madhya Pradesh will be threatened.

“In the song ‘Besharam Rang’ which is made with contaminated mentality, the actor and the actress are clad in green and saffron clothes in an objectionable manner,” he said, as quoted by PTI. He added, “I feel the title of the song ‘Besharam Rang’ is also objectionable in its sense.”

The song released on Monday and has been trending on social media since its release. Directed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan is scheduled to release in theatres on January 25.
