ISLAMABAD/NEW DEHLI: Bollywood King Shah Rukh Khan’s film ‘Pathan’ continues to be strongly opposed by Hindu extremists, on which Indian writer Javed Akhtar has also expressed his resentment.
According to Indian media, writer Javed Akhtar was asked by the media that the Central Board of Film Certificate (CBFC) asked the makers of Shah Rukh Khan’s film ‘Pathan’ to change the song “Be Sharm Rang.” Javed Akhtar expressed his views and said that filmmakers should have faith in the film certification body which has the authority to decide whether the file should be cut or not.

According to media reports, referring to CBFC, Javed Akhtar added, “We have an agency and it is not my or your job to decide whether the song is right or wrong, here government people and a section of society watch the film, decide what will be passed and what will not.”
He said, “I think we should trust this certification, the cuts they propose, and what they pass.” It should be noted that actress Deepika Padukone wore a saffron-coloured dress in the song ‘Be Sharm Rang,’ which was strongly opposed by Hindu extremists and private property was vandalized along with the film’s poster.
