The police department has also deployed a platoon of the Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) near theatres. Belagavi South constituency BJP MLA Abhay Patil condemned the release of the movie and urged to stop exhibition of the movie.

“They should understand the feelings of the people and stop the screening of the film. Release of such movies will spoil the atmosphere in society. The protest has begun today. Women are opposing the release of the movie, the distributor must stop shows,” he said.

‘Pathaan’ has been released across that state and is being screened without any trouble in other regions, including the capital Bengaluru.
