Guwahati: Ahead of the release of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer, a group of Bajrang Dal workers were seen burning posters of the film in Guwahati’s Narengi area.
On Friday evening, activists of the Bajrang Dal stormed to the Gold Cinema at LG Tower in Narengi to protest against the film scheduled to release next week.
The activists vandalised posters of the film and then set it on fire. Meanwhile, the protestors can be also heard shouting Jai Shree Ram slogans while burning down the posters.
However, the videos of the protest circulated on social media.
On the other hand, taking to Twitter, Congress MP Abdul Khaleque wrote, “Producer and team of #Pathaan including #ShahRukhKhan must thanks Sanghis for giving free publicity to the film.”
