Pathaan faces heat in Hyderabad. Even as the entire Bollywood is heaving a sigh of relief and is going bombastic with Badshah Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan opening up to positive reviews and going great guns at the box office, they got a shock when Pathaan faced heat in Hyderabad.

On the release day yesterday, Bajrangdal activists stormed the  Asian Tarakarama theatre in Kacheguda where the film was getting screened, and tore the posters on the premises. Deepak Yadav, Shankarpalli Bajrang Dal leader who led the group shouted slogans against Pathaan and then gave Jai Sriram slogans.

On receiving complaint from the theatre management, police rushed in and detained the protesters. Sultan Bazar Inspector A. Bala Gangi Reddy said the situation is under control and more than 25 people along with their leader Deepak Yadav were arrested. Pathaan is an action entertainer directed by Siddharth Anand and starred Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham in the lead roles while Salman Khan played an extended cameo.
