In an interview with ETimes, BJP MLA Ram Kadam said, "If you read my tweet, I did not mention that we are asking ban on Pathaan. I just said that we are the Hindu ideology government in Maharashtra and we will definitely not tolerate any kind of film or serial which is going to hurt Hindu sentiments and we will definitely not allow them to release. This is my clear stand."

"The producer and director should come forward and clarify their stand against the objectionable points raised by Hindu Sadhus and organizations. When there is an outrage by these Sadhus and Saints, none of the authorities are coming forward and clearing their stand," he added.
