There is also a multiplex in the mall. Inspector JK Dangar said that the Vastrapur police reached the spot and took five activists into custody. He was later released, he said. In a video shared by VHP, activists can be seen raising slogans and tearing posters as well as large cut-outs of Pathan’s star cast. The Gujarat VHP had earlier said that it would not allow screening of the film anywhere in Gujarat, mainly because of the song ‘Besharam Rang’, where Padukone is seen dancing with Khan wearing a saffron outfit.
“We will not allow the screening of Pathan in Gujarat. Today’s protest against the release of the film in Ahmedabad should be taken as a warning by all theater owners across the state. They should be restrained from releasing the film in their theaters or multiplexes. Must stay away,” Gujarat said. VHP spokesperson Hitendra Singh Rajput.
