Mukesh Khanna has joined the group of people criticising the song Besharam Rang from Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film Pathaan. He has questioned how the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) could pass the song despite alleged “vulgarity” in the visuals of the song.

The actor told ABP News, “I think our film industry has gone haywire. This is a matter of vulgarity, it has nothing to do with any kind of religious problem. The censor board is no Supreme Court. They tell me very prominent people but can they not see all these attacks on the Hindu religion?”

He added, “Our country is no Spain or Sweden or such a country that allows everything. You dared to bring people in such limited clothing, next you will bring them without the clothes! The job of the censor board is to ensure that films do not hurt anyone’s personal feelings and beliefs. The censor must not pass such films that instigate or lead the youth astray. This song can mess up with the minds of the youth, not mislead. This is not a song made for the OTT, but a film. How could the censor pass it? Did they not see the deliberate provocative dressing?”
