Plotline:

In his young age, Shah Rukh Khan's parents are assassinated by mysterious attackers. Pathaan grew furious for vengeance and vowed to track them down and brutally slay them. This anticipation will unnerve you at the end of the movie! These people travel to Kabul to save Afghanistan after the world's most heinous demon, who lives in America, takes the initiative in destroying Muslims in Afghanistan.

The government continues to attempt to convert the residents from barbarianism to civilization, which the Indian Constitution strongly supports, and intends to begin a task by which the people and eventual fate of Afghanistan can adapt, but only at the insistence of "ISI" and "ISIS" will this Pathan crew attempt to expand that mission.

Pathan Controversy:

Union Minister and BJP MP Giriraj Singh confronted Shah Rukh Khan to create a film about Muslims and the existence of Prophet Muhammad. Giriraj Singh claims that many such Bollywood directors and artists make cinema to mock Hindus.

In a track from the feature film "Pathaan," Deepika Padukone wears saffron garb, and there are quite a few sequences. Thakur and the Vishva Hindu Parishad have been staunchly opposed. Sadhvi Pragya has urged a ban of the Shah Rukh Khan film, but Mishra and VHP have compelled the producer and filmmaker to act immediately to delete the offensive portions from the movie Pathaan.

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone have been accused of "negatively affecting religious emotions" of Hindus in the song "Besharam Rang" from their new movie "Pathaan," according to a charge petition that was also submitted to a court in Bihar's Muzaffarpur region.
