Besharam Rang, written by Vishal and Shekhar, was sung by Shilpa Rao. Over 163 million people have seen it on YouTube.

Tanvi's version of Besharam empowered us to unleash our inner besharam girls and do whatever hell we want with our bodies, our personal space, and our bodies' natural freedom to move.

"Pathaan" found itself battling controversy and calls for a ban after the release of its song "Besharam Rang", also featuring Deepika Padukone, on December 12. A sequence in the song showing Deepika in a saffron bikini led to protests across India for allegedly hurting "Hindu sentiments".

"The film recently reached the CBFC examination committee for certification. The film went through the due and thorough examination process as per the CBFC guidelines.

"The committee has guided the makers to implement the advised changes in the film, including the songs, and submit the revised version before theatrical release," Joshi said in a statement to PTI.
