Pathaan Director Siddharth Anand On Besharam Rang Controversy: "I Picked That Costume Just Randomly''

Pathaan Director Siddharth Anand On Besharam Rang Controversy: "I Picked That Costume Just Randomly''

The director, known for hits such as Bachna Ae Haseeno, Bang Bang! and "War"

Filmmaker Siddharth Anand says the controversy over Besharam Rang song of Pathaan was just white noise as the team knew that there was nothing objectionable in the Shah Rukh Khan's movie. The stylish spy thriller had faced boycott calls over the track prior to its release on January 25, with right-wing groups objecting to Deepika Padukone's orange bikini. Some politicians had also slammed the song for hurting religious sentiments.

"We were neither scared nor pumped up. That was all just white noise. We knew that there was nothing objectionable in our movie. We were in Spain and I picked that costume just randomly. But I never imagined all this would happen.

"The colour of the outfit looked nice as it was a sunny day, the grass was green and water was blue. That was the logic behind it," Anand said at the News 18 Rising India Summit 2023 on Thursday evening.

The filmmaker said he is glad that the audience saw through the brouhaha and made the film a humongous success. "When this happened, we thought that audiences will understand when they watch the movie that our intent was not wrong and what they are seeing on screen is not objectionable. But I can't blame the audience because they hadn't seen the movie till then.
