It seems like the trouble around the upcoming movie ‘Pathaan’ seems to be never-ending as public threats have been issued against the release of the Shah Rukh Khan starrer movie in parts of India.
The outrage was initiated over Deepika Padukone wearing a ‘saffron’ bikini and being groped by a Muslim man, played by Shah Rukh Khan. Now, new protests have emerged in parts of India and public threats have been given against the release of the movie in Gujrat.
As per a recent report by Indian media, Bajrang Dal, a Hindu nationalist militant organisation has issued a public threat in order to prevent the release of the movie.

There were a lot of protests going on and the members of the organization had previously created a ruckus inside different malls in the state. They refuse to obey the orders to the Censor Board and have taken the matter into their hands.
To begin with, it remains sad that a movie that was created for entertainment purposes has now been politicized. Starring Shah Rukh Khan as the titular super-spy, the big-budget spectacle also features Deepika Padukone and John Abraham.
Salman Khan has also confirmed that he filmed a cameo for Pathaan — he will appear as the equally formidable spy Tiger, a character from his movie ‘Tiger’. The movie is slated to release on January 25.
