Bollywood as a whole has been rocked by Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan’s phenomenal success. The worst year in the industry’s history, 2022, was followed by a resurgence of optimism thanks to the smashing success of the Siddharth Anand-helmed picture. As Pathaan continues to break box office records, it has also become a trending subject on the social media platform Twitter.
Conflict arises between Kangana Ranaut and Uorfi Javed over Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan.
The controversy began when actress Kangana Ranaut said that the popularity of Pathaan was evidence that Indians had always admired Muslim ladies and actors. Uorfi Javed, a popular figure on the social networking platform, was not pleased.
“Very good analysis… this country has only and only loved all Khans and at times only and only Khans…And obsessed over Muslim actresses, so it’s very unfair to accuse India of hate and fascism … there is no country like Bharat in the whole world,” said Kangana.

Uorfi responded, “Oh my gosh! What is this division, Muslim actors, Hindu actors. Art is not divided by religion. There are only actors”.

The buzz about Pathaan began as soon as the first image of Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham in the lead role was released. The film’s release has been met with much fanfare, as it marks SRK’s comeback to the big screen after an absence of over four years. Recently, Pathaan has been the talk of the town, and its admirers have been raving about the movie ever since. Nonetheless, there is a minority that is vocally opposed to the movie.
