New Delhi: The ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend has hit a new low with Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s movie ‘Pathaan’ being boycotted for bold scenes and the use of “Bhagwa” bikini in the song ‘Besharam Rang’. Like many other films, ‘Pathaan’ is also facing a backlash on Twitter and while there is general public boycotting the film for various reasons, BJP and RSS workers have brought the bikini colour angle to it.
The song ‘Besharam Rang’ was released on December 12 and has become the new reason for the #BoycottPathaan trend. The song is sung by Shilpa Rao, Caralisa Monteiro, Vishal and Sheykhar while the lyrics are penned by Kumaar. The video shows Deepika dancing in different bikinis while romancing SRK.
The song is under public scrutiny for allegedly disrespecting the colour associated with Hinduism. Dr Prachi Sadhvi and BJP worker Arun Yadav were among the people asking fans to boycott the movie.

#Pathaan will obviously flop badly in India courtesy #BoycottPathaan & basically being a cheap, Vulgar movie.
But #ShahRukhKhan bigger worry is how will he get the illegal funds they get from #China under the farce called overseas success after #Twang & #BoycottChina .

SRK said -: No one has the guts to make “Pathan” a flop, if “Pathan” flops, I will leave India.
