At the moment, Diljit is facing intense backlash due to the inclusion of Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3.

Overview

  • The film was completed in February before the Pahalgam terror attack, prompting producers to forgo an Indian release in favor of an overseas debut.
  • Sardaar Ji3 opened in Pakistan on June 27 with theatre listings in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Faisalabad and Sialkot.
  • The Federation of Western India Cine Employees has called for punitive measures against Dosanjh and his team, including citizenship revocation and removal from the upcoming Border 2 project.
  • Producers estimate a 40 percent revenue shortfall from bypassing the Indian market, while Dosanjh’s former manager defended his decision as a commitment to safeguard producers’ personal investments.
  • Co-producer Gunbir Singh Sidhu condemned Hania Aamir’s description of Operation Sindoor as “below the belt” and announced the studio will no longer work with Pakistani artists.
