Film making is business and consumers are public. If they like to see sexually appealing vulgar exposure, films have to satisfy their lust. Also, if actresses are willing to get paid, they will do it. What morality?

All the protests about Pathan are politically motivated and driven. So many movies and songs depict much more and worse. Many Hindu zealots don’t like SRK and the other two khans because they are Muslims. Extremism by Hindus is no better than terrorism by Muslims. So live and let live.
