'Will Burn Shah Rukh Alive If I Meet Him': Ayodhya Seer Makes Disturbing Remarks Amid 'Pathaan' Row
According to Paramhans Acharya, the song "Besharam rang" includes objectionable lyrics because it ridicules the color saffron.
The uproar over Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film, Pathaan, shows no signs of subsiding. A Hindu seer from Ayodhya made disturbing comments about Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, the film's leads, in the aftermath of fury from politicians and right-wing supporters over the song "Besharam Rang" in the movie.
"Will burn Shah Rukh alive": Seer
In a startling statement on the controversy, a seer by the name of Paramhans Acharya, who is reported to be a saint from Tapasvi Chhavni, stated that he would even go to the point of burning Shah Rukh Khan alive if he had the chance.
This is disgusting !!! He is the same 'Guru' Paramhans Acharya who threatened to take 'Jal Samadhi' if the country was not declared a Hind00 Rashttra by 2nd Oct 2021

According to Paramhans Acharya, the song "Besharam rang" includes objectionable lyrics because it ridicules the color saffron.
"People of our Sanatan Dharma are protesting continuously regarding this. Today we have burnt the poster of Shahrukh Khan. If I get to meet the film Jihadi Shah Rukh Khan, I will burn him alive," the seer said.
"Will burn theatres that screen Pathaan": Acharya.
Acharya was unhinged as he made more disturbing comments.
He declared that if a Pathan film was shown in theatres, he would burn the buildings in protest. In addition, he appealed to people not to watch themoviem "Pathaan" starring Shah Rukh Khan. Previously, Raju Das, the priest of Hanumangarhi, had also voiced opposition to the movie.
The VHP leads pathaan protests:
The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) 's right-wing party has already expressed their displeasure with Deepika Padukone's saffron outfit and specific sequences in the song "Pathan."
The group demanded that the movie be edited immediately. Padukone's outfit drew the ire of the VHP, a group associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The group objected to the song's title, "Besharam Rang," and claimed that the Hindu society would never consent to a film of this nature.
A complaint was registered in Mumbai against Pathaan's cast.
In the song Besharam Rang from Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film Pathaan, actress Deepika Padukone wears a saffron bikini.
The Mumbai Police got a written complaint demanding an FIR. On Monday, a spokesperson revealed information.
An officer from Sakinaka police station said a complaint was filed on Saturday against the film's producer, director, and lead actor-actress for deliberately using saffron to hurt Hindu sentiments.
