Fans of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan had a lot to celebrate as 'Pathaan' officially hit the big screen today, January 25. While many flocked to theatres to witness the return of King Khan, others could not hold back their screams and cheers as Deepika Padukone stepped on-screen in her controversial saffron bikini.
A viral video doing the rounds online, sees a theatre full of fans erupting in hoots, screams and even whistling as Besharam Rang played out on the big screen. While reports revealed that 'Pathaan' faced the CBFC chopping block and had to have a few scenes and words cut, the fate of Deepika's scenes in her saffron bikini was largely unknown.
Going by audience reactions on Twitter, many were relieved that the song was not edited out of the film as it "serves a purpose leading to a crucial moment" in the film.
