Digital Desk: The uproar Shah Rukh Khan film "Pathaan," which has been in the news since its song "Besharam Rang" was released, is making headlines yet again, this time from Ahmedabad.
During the film's marketing on Wednesday, the Bajrang Dal members—members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP)—raised a disturbance at the Alpha One Mall in Ahmedabad's Vastrapur. During their protest, the Bajrang Dal members tore down posters of Shahrukh Khan and his co-stars.
The protesters also warned the mall management that if the movie is released, they will stage an even more furious protest.
