“The
costumes
in
the
song
at

glance
are
objectionable.
Actress
Deepika
Padukone
who
supports
‘Tukde
Tukde
gang’
is
in
the
song
of
the
film
#Pathan.
The
costumes
are
highly
objectionable
and
the
song
has
been
shot
with
a
dirty
mindset.
The
scenes
and
costumes
of
the
songs
should
be
corrected,
otherwise,
we
will
consider
whether
or
not
to
allow
the
film
to
be
released
in

In
the
clip,
the
minister
fumed
over
Deepika
wearing
saffron
costume.
It
is
not
the
first
time
where
he
has
made
such
comments.
Last
month,
Mishra
had
slammed
the
makers
of
‘Adipurush’ and
warned
them
of
doing
away
with
wrongful
depictions
of
Hindu
religious
figures.
Similarly,
he
had
called
for
the
cops
to
file
a
complaint
against
Leena
Manimekalai’s
documentary
‘Kaali’
for
projecting
the
Goddess
in
a
bad
light.

On
the
other
hand,
Swami
Chakrapani
Maharaj
wrote
in
a
tweet
in
Hindi,
“There
has
been
an
insult
of
saffron
and
Hindu
Sanskrit
in
Shah
Rukh
Khan’s
film
Pathaan.
Why
is
the
film
censor
board
sleeping?
We
will
impose
a
ban!
The
Hindu
Mahasabha
will
oppose
it.
