New Delhi: The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has made a move amid the controversy and advised makers of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film Pathaan to implement certain changes in the film, including songs, and submit a revised version.
The film has gone through the CBFC scrutiny as per the board’s guidelines.
Pathaan helmed by Siddharth Anand is scheduled for a theatrical release in January 2023, in multi-language across the country.
One of its songs ‘Besharam Rang’ courted controversy over the orange-coloured bikini sported by Deepika Padukone.
Prasoon Joshi, CBFC Chairperson, said that “Pathaan went through the due and thorough examining process as per the CBFC guidelines. The committee has guided the makers to implement the advised changes in the film, including the songs, and submit the revised version prior to theatrical release.”
He further added that “Whilst the process is getting duly followed and implemented, I must reiterate that our culture and faith is glorious, intricate and nuanced. And we have to be careful that it does not get defined by trivia which takes the focus away from the real and the true.”
The song ‘Besharam Rang’ was stuck with a major controversy. Some people found the song objectionable over the use of saffron and green costumes. Speaking to media persons a couple of days after the release of the track ‘Besharam Rang’, Madhya Pradesh Minister Narottam Mishra had objected to the use of saffron costumes in the song, adding: “The costumes in the song at first glance are objectionable. It is clearly visible that the song of the film has been shot with a dirty mindset.”
