New Delhi: Amid boycott calls for ‘Besharam Rang’, a new song from the film ‘Pathaan’ is set to release on December 22. The makers are releasing the title track of the film, titled ‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’. The first look of the song starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone has been revealed along with the announcement.
Director Siddharth Anand said that the song portrays the personality of the titular character played by SRK. Reportedly, ‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’ is a fusion qawwali and King Khan revealed in his #AskSRK session that the song is sung by Arijit Singh. Anand also said that the song features SRK grooving and also revealing the traits of his spy character.
#JhoomeJoPathaan is a modern fusion Qawaali & celebrates #Pathaan’s style and Panache.
“It has been a while since we have seen SRK grove to the music & we are hoping that people will love seeing their favourite superstar shake a leg with an attitude to kill for.”dir#ShahRukhKhan pic.twitter.com/MfCc95iIpW— Shah Rukh Khan Universe Fan Club (@SRKUniverse) December 20, 2022
The first look of the song features Shah Rukh in a white shirt with his classic long hair and Deepika in a brown outfit paired with silver shoes, standing by a vintage car.
The first song ‘Besharam Rang’ faced a backlash as BJP politicians and members of Hindu outfits raised questions on the colour of Deepika’s bikini in the song and also said that the song is ‘vulgar’. While some chose to criticise the lyrics of the song to run the #BoycottPathaan trend on social media.
