Pathaan Cast: Deepika Padukone, Shahrukh Khan, Dimple Kapadia, John Abraham
Pathaan Directed by: Siddharth Anand
Pathaan Produced by: Aditya Chopra
The Pathaan trailer finally released on January 10 after fans and SRKians waited a long time. The trailer begins with John Abraham firing a bazooka before Dimple Kapadia views, mentioning that the terror organisation is preparing an attack on India, adding, “Ab Pathaan ke vanvaas ka time khatam hua.”
It then shows Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan firing a volley of bullets and taking control of a helicopter. The video also depicts Deepika as a soldier (similar to Pathaan) who begs him to join forces with her. Pathaan’s trailer is a high-octane set of fight scenes that would pique the interest of any adrenaline enthusiast. Deepika Padukone portrays a femme fatale brilliantly, while Shah Rukh Khan slays the lead character Pathaan. As the adversary, John Abraham is faultless.

Controversy and Protest
Yash Raj Films, on December 12, unveiled the very first song from the highly awaited Pathaan film, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, and it has grabbed the internet by storm, but not always for the best of reasons. Deepika Padukone is at the centre of a significant debate over her role in ‘Besharam Rang.’
While the song has a captivating rhythm, with Shilpa Rao’s lovely voice wonderfully matching Vishal and Shekhar’s soundtrack, and Shah Rukh and Deepika look stunning, the song is being criticised for its dancing and Deepika’s outfit, notably a saffron-coloured beach costume. The song’s title, “Besharam Rang”, has also been a source of contention for some who associate it with the saffron colour that Padukone dresses in the clip. There have been petitions to have the song deleted from the movie Pathaan due to the controversy.
Censor Board and Cuts
The Censor Board has recommended up to 13 changes to Shah Rukh Khan’s latest film Pathan, which received a UA certificate. Deepika Padukone’s close-up images of ‘buttocks, side-pose, and seductive dancing motions during the words Bahut Tang Kiya’ from the controversial song Besharam Rang were removed.
