Pathaan's director shares his stance on the threats

Most of the people were demanding for the ban of the film.

MUMBAI (Web Desk) – Bollywood’s blockbuster movie Pathaan’s director Siddharth Anand spoke about the time when his film was receiving backlash and boycott calls before its theatrical release.

Anand unveils that the whole team of Pathaan was not at all scared to the boycott calls, neither it affected the film by any means saying "We were not scared. We knew that there was nothing objectionable in our film."

He further explained when we were in Spain, I chose that costume randomly. We never gave it too much thought. “The colour was looking nice. It was sunny, the grass was greener and the water was blue and the orange colour was looking good. We thought when the audience would watch it they would understand that our intent was not wrong", added the director.

Prior to the release of Pathaan, most of the people were demanding for the ban of the film claiming that it has objectionable content resulting in hurting the sentiments of a specific community. A major backlash was received over Deepika Padukone’s orange saffron that she wore in song Besharam Rang.

Despite receiving an intense pre-release repercussion, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika and John Abraham’s action-packed film took over the box office by a storm. The film earned over INR 1000 crore globally.
