Maqbool Khan on row over 'Khaali Peeli' track: Idea was to put Beyonce as an icon

Ishaan Khatter and Ananya Panday-starrer "Khaali Peeli" mired in controversy over a song "Beyonce Sharma Jayegi" for its racist undertones but the film's director Maqbool Khan asserts that aim behind the track was to showcase the pop diva as an icon.
