Deepika's Saffron Returns: A Pathaan Echo?
2 Nov
Summary
- Deepika Padukone's saffron outfit in 'King' mirrors Pathaan controversy.
- Fans speculate if SRK and Siddharth Anand are making a dig.
- 'King' stars Suhana Khan, with Padukone in a key role.
Deepika Padukone's recent appearance in a saffron outfit for the song 'Tu Mil Jaaye' from Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film 'King' has evoked strong memories of the controversy surrounding her attire in 'Pathaan'. The striking visual has led to widespread speculation online, with many fans questioning if the filmmakers, including director Siddharth Anand, are intentionally referencing the previous uproar.
Social media platforms are abuzz with discussions and memes comparing Padukone's current look to her saffron bikini from the 'Besharam Rang' song in 'Pathaan'. This has reignited debates about the initial objections raised by religious groups concerning the sacredness of the saffron colour. Director Siddharth Anand had previously stated that the colour choice for 'Besharam Rang' was coincidental.
The film 'King,' slated for a Christmas release on December 24, is a significant project. It marks the debut of Shah Rukh Khan's daughter, Suhana Khan, and features an extensive ensemble cast. The song 'Tu Mil Jaaye,' sung by Arijit Singh and Ed Sheeran, is the first track to be released from the movie.
