The Home Minister of Madhya Pardesh, Narottam Mishra, has asked for the makers of Pathaan to change the visuals and the costumes of the song, calling them objectionable.

“The outfits that have been worn in the song are objectionable. It is evident that polluted minds are behind filming this song. Anyway, Deepika Padukone has been a supporter of the Tukde Tukde gang when she went for the JNU protests and that is why, I would like to request that they should correct the visuals of the song, correct the costumes, or else the permission to release this film in MP should be given or not will be a thinkable question,” he said.
