'Pathaan' will hit the theatres on January 25.

'Pathaan' song 'Besharam Rang' continues to remain the eye of the storm, with reactions to the video release coming thick and fast. On Wednesday, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra asked the makers of the movie to change the costumes used in 'Besharam Rang' otherwise the government in the state would deliberate whether the film can be allowed to release in Madhya Pradesh or not.

Now, 'Baahubali' producer Shobu Yarlagadda has reacted to the comments made by the Madhya Pradesh minister, saying: "We are really hitting rock bottom now."

On Wednesday, Narottam Mishra had said that 'Pathaan' was "full of faults" and it reeked of "toxic mentality".

"The film 'Pathaan' is full of faults and is based on toxic mentality. Lyrics of song 'Besharam Rang' and saffron and green clothes worn in the song need to be corrected or else we will take decision on whether to let the film's screening happen in Madhya Pradesh or not," the minister had told reporters.

'Pathaan' will hit release on January 25, and before the release, the makers dropped the first song titled 'Besharam Rang' earlier this week.

However, the song did not receive universal acceptance. For some fans, the choreography was a let down and hence social media is now flooded with memes.

In the video for 'Besharam Rang', Shah Rukh Khan can also be seen flaunting his eight-pack abs as he stands shirtless at one point in the song. The groovy track has been sung by Shilpa Rao, Caralisa Monteiro, Vishal and Sheykar.

It is important to mention that the song also has some Spanish bits, the lyrics of which have been given by Vishal Dadlani.

The teaser for 'Pathaan' was released on November 2, which also happens to be the birth date of Shah Rukh Khan.

This song was released with the intent of creating controversy.lt is a part of their film promotions.But they are wrong in thinking that a film would become hit just by raising a controversy.The film would definitely be a hit if it has a strong script, direction and performance.What with the films streaming on ott a month or two later ,public is aware enough to not watch the movie just for a song.

I totally agree with the minister,nowadays we need such sexy songs because we hv hit a bottom low as far as acting is concerned,so to catch the attention of the people these actors can go to any level,nd very conveniently we do all these in the name of freedom of expression,nd to top it Shahrukh is an aging star,it doesn't behove of him to do these kind of sexy numbers,what message is he conveying to the general public,it is downright disgusting,for their petty benefits they are destroying a whole generation
