Diljit Dosanjh Defends 'Sardaar Ji 3' Timeline at Malaysia Concert

Trade-union boycotts kept the Punjabi comedy from Indian theaters following the Pahalgam attack.

Overview

  • Speaking on stage in Malaysia, Dosanjh said the film was shot in February and stressed this preceded the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
  • He affirmed support for India, called for strict punishment for terrorists, and said Punjabis and the Sikh community could never go against the nation.
  • A video of his remarks went viral on social media, which Times Now said it could not independently verify.
  • Featuring Pakistani actor Hania Aamir, the film remains out of Indian cinemas under industry non‑cooperation directives, after producers released it overseas on June 27 to protect investments.
  • FWICE labeled the casting decision an 'anti-national' act and sought punitive measures, while Dosanjh referenced that India–Pakistan cricket matches occurred after the attack.
