Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan did what no party could: TMC leader Derek O'Brien

Taking a dig at those who supported the boycott of the film, TMC leader Derek O'Brien praised Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan adding that no political party could achieve this feat. Derek O'Brien called the Bollywood actors 'India’s biggest global ambassadors' and also praised filmmaker Siddharth Anand for making Pathaan.

Before the film’s release, a saffron swimsuit worn by Deepika Padukone in Pathaan’s Besharam Rang song was criticised. However many including Derek have hailed the film for promoting India’s cultural inclusivity as people did not give in to the ban and continued to watch it in cinemas in huge numbers.

‘A Bharat whose diversity is even more vivid and whose unity becomes more shakeable’ — these lines were turned into a film before they were written. Well done Siddharth Anand (director). Well done India’s biggest global ambassadors. Well done to those of you who made Pathaan. What we couldn’t do, Shah Rukh Khan, Dimple Kapadia and John Abraham have shown this country. We learn from them.” He further said, "Don’t mess with India’s biggest global ambassadors. You asked them to boycott Bollywood, they showed you one film with a beautiful message.”
