Diljit Dosanjh’s Sardaar Ji 3 Secures Overseas Release as FWICE Pushes for Ban in India

Heightened India-Pakistan tensions following the Pahalgam attack, coupled with Hania Aamir’s contested remarks, prompted producers to forgo an Indian release as FWICE demands a ban on Dosanjh’s future projects.

Overview

  • Sardaar Ji 3 will premiere overseas on June 27 and will not be released theatrically in India.
  • FWICE President BN Tiwari announced a strict ban on all Diljit Dosanjh’s future projects in India for collaborating with Pakistani artists.
  • Diljit Dosanjh told BBC Asian Network that the film had been shot in February before the Pahalgam attack and that producers invested heavily, justifying the overseas-only release.
  • The film’s trailer was geo-restricted in India, with YouTube displaying a “not available in your country” message.
  • Singer B Praak and Dosanjh both shared cryptic social media posts—B Praak decrying artists who “sold their conscience” and Dosanjh posting “Censored before release”—private statements interpreted as responses to the backlash.
