The protest was held shortly after state minister Narottam Mishra demanded that the film be banned due to "objectionable scenes" and the use of saffron costumes.
Actors Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan's effigies were set on fire by Veer Shivaji Group activists who had congregated at a traffic light, according to PTI.
They also urged a ban on the movie, which was scheduled to be released in January of next year, claiming that the Besharam Rang song's content hurt the Hindu community.
