‘Pathaan’ is a patriotic film, says Shah Rukh Khan

In the wave of “pathaan” movie controversy Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan on Saturday said he is in the business of entertainment and not predictions as he fielded queries about the success of his movie. The 57-year-old actor hosted an impromptu Twitter session, where he answered questions related to “Pathaan”, but didn’t address the row over the film’s first song “Besharam Rang”, against which protests have been staged in various parts of the country.

Right-wing organisations as well as the BJP have called for a boycott of the movie, objecting to the “saffron” and “green” outfits being used in the song that features Shah Rukh and Deepika Padukone. The actor also revealed that the film’s official trailer and second song will be released “soon”.
Meanwhile, the movie “Pathaan” will release theatres on January 25 next year.
