NDTV
Mr Gautam said this ahead of a five-day winter season to begin today, amid demands to ban "Pathaan" in theatres.
After Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra, the state's Assembly Speaker Girish Gautam has also opposed actor Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film, Pathaan.
"Shah Rukh should watch this film with his daughter, upload a picture and tell the world that he is watching it with his daughter. I challenge you to make a similar film on the Prophet and run it," he said.
Mr Gautam said this ahead of a five-day winter season to begin today, amid demands to ban "Pathaan" in theatres. The issue is likely to be discussed in the Assembly by the ruling BJP on the floor of the House.
Senior congress leaders, including the leader of the opposition Dr Govind Singh, and former Union Minister Suresh Pachouri, have also opposed the film, saying it's "against our values".
