Owing to changes made in the movie, VHP withdraws protest against upcoming 'Pathaan'

New Delhi, Jan 25: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) will not oppose the Shah Rukh Khan's spy-thriller 'Pathaan' for the "time being" as changes have been made in the movie, said VHP spokesperson Shriraj B Nair.

 

 

 

 

"For the time being, we will not oppose the film as it would not be right to protest without seeing the movie," said Shriraj B Nair while interacting with media. He stated that appropriate changes were made to the movie after the objections were raised by VHP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

"As far as our earlier objections are concerned, we objected to the misuse of the saffron colour and the use of words like 'shameless colour'. Keeping our objection in mind, the changes made in the film are correct. If after watching the movie we feel that there is something wrong, then we will reconsider," Nair added. Notably, 'Pathaan' landed in a controversy after its song 'Besharam Rang' was released.

 

 

Earlier on Jan 5, members of Bajrang Dal created a ruckus at Alpha One Mall in Ahmedabad's Vastrapur during the promotion of the film. The Bajrang Dal members during their protest tore down pictures of Shah Rukh Khan as well as his co-stars.
