In a recent interview, director Siddharth Anand discussed the Pathaan controversy and said that his picture had no inappropriate material. The director referred to the Shah Rukh Khan movie as a ‘patriotic film’ after many complained that it offended their feelings.

Recently, Pathaan filmmaker Siddharth Anand spoke out about the controversy surrounding his action movie, which prompted some people to call for a boycott of it. Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham are the movie’s stars. In response to the controversy following Pathaan’s enormous box office success, Siddharth said that his picture included nothing unpleasant and referred to it as a ‘patriotic film.’

The first song from Pathaan, Besharam Rang, which featured Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika in a romantic scene in Spain, garnered media attention. Many political leaders protested over the costumes in the song, particularly Deepika’s saffron bikini, while some voiced their disapproval with the songs’ lyrics. Many people were offended by the song because they felt it offended their religious beliefs. This sparked anti-film demonstrations in some parts of India and demands for a boycott on social media.

In a statement to Variety, Siddharth stated, “We’ve had lots of films with big stars that have come out post-pandemic and unfortunately, some of them haven’t worked. But the film has spoken and the film’s intentions have spoken. And the fact that it had nothing offensive, it’s such a patriotic film that it does inspire you.”

“That’s reached the audience – the audience is too smart to get fooled by fake boycott calls,” he further added.

“We love each other, we joke with each other. We have fun with each other. Fun, entertainment should be left at that. Don’t take it more seriously. We all are one. All of us are loving each other and trying to make that love spread just to tell you in a very simple manner… this is Deepika Padukone, yeh Amar hain. Main Shah Rukh Khan hoon, main Akbar hoon. Yeh John hain, yeh Anthony hain. And this is what makes cinema,” he also added.
