Ever since the song "Besharam Rang" came out and was swarmed in controversy, the internet has been divided in two about Pathaan. While many are excited about Shah Rukh Khan's return to the screen after years, others are hellbent on boycotting the film because of the visuals (but more so using them to attack the Muslim Superstar and Deepika Padukone). Now, the Pathaan haters are pitting another film against it, and that film is Gadar 2 which they believe is releasing on January 26. Pathaan will release on January 25. When is Pathaan Trailer Releasing? Shah Rukh Khan Tweets 'Soon I Assume'.
"Besharam Rang" has been considered "vulgar" and "indecent" by the right wing caucus. Many are protesting and want Gadar 2 to "win" and beat Pathaan, after rumours of Deol's film releasing on January 26 took over Twitter.

What Film Will Be a Better Hit? Questions the Audience
For those who are unaware, Gadar 2 is the sequel to the 2001 blockbuster Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, both films being directed by Anil Sharma. The sequel will star Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel and the director's son Utkarsh Sharma, all the three reprising their characters from the first film. Since the original film had Deol's Tara Singh take on the entire Pakistan army and come up victorious, fans are expecting him to do an encore with the sequel, which they believe is another reason to root for Gadar 2 over Pathaan. The only problem is, it is not yet confirmed when Gadar 2 is releasing!
Although fake news that Gadar 2 will release the day after Pathaan has been floating around on Twitter, no official announcement has been made stating this fact. And neither have we found any kind of source confirming this news. The only source of info we got was on the Wikipedia page of Gadar 2, which mentions that the release date of Gadar 2 will be announced on January 26, 2023, and even that info doesn't have any legitimate article backing it up.

Even the Insta post doesn't mention the release date yet. It's not that Gadar 2 might not come out on January 26, but for a huge film like this to not have any sort of promotional activity not begun yet if it has to meet that date, is also a big hint that Gadar 2 is not clashing with Pathaan. Although Rajkumar Santoshi's Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh is definitely releasing in that period.
