According to recent reports, Indian actress Kangana Ranaut has expressed interest in renaming the upcoming SRK-starrer Pathaan to Indian Pathaan. The film is based in the land of ‘Pathaans’, a semi-nomadic Muslim tribe.

Ranaut has argued that the name change would make the film more accessible and relatable to a wider audience. She has also expressed her belief that it would give the film a more ‘Indian’ touch, thereby increasing its appeal. However, the name change has been greeted with mixed reactions. While some have supported the idea, others have argued that it would be an inaccurate representation of the ‘Pathaan’ culture. Some have also suggested that it smacks of cultural appropriation and could lead to further misrepresentation of a culture that has traditionally been marginalized and oppressed.
