Overview

  • Bollywood unions FWICE and AICWA have upheld calls to boycott Sardaar Ji 3 and its producers opted to skip an Indian release in favour of overseas markets.
  • Sardaar Ji 3 premiered internationally on June 27 and has delivered robust box-office returns in Pakistan under the boycott directives.
  • On June 30, Shah posted a firm defence of Dosanjh’s casting of Hania Aamir and criticized political pressure before reports emerged that the message had been removed.
  • Following a cryptic Georg Christoph Lichtenberg quote, Shah declared on July 2 that he never deleted his original post and said he is unconcerned by any backlash.
  • The dispute reflects broader India-Pakistan tensions after the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, which have intensified opposition to cross-border film collaborations.
