India and Pakistan’s relationship soured after the unfortunate attack on civilians in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which took 26 lives. After which, Pakistani artists were banned from working in India, and a geo-ban was put on famous Pakistani celebrities. However, despite the tense situation, Diljit Dosanjh’s film, Sardaar Ji 3, features Pakistani actress, Hania Aamir. This led to extreme trolling and fans’ anger at Diljit and the makers of the film for retaining Hania after what happened.
Diljit Dosanjh reacted to the controversy and retained Pakistani actress, Hania Aamir, in Sardaar Ji 3
Recently, in an interview with BBC Asian Network, Diljit finally broke his silence on the matter, and angry fans criticised him for working with the Pakistani actress despite the ban. It is worth mentioning that the film, Sardaar Ji 3, is going to be released overseas and won’t be released in India. Diljit clarified that the film was shot in February 2025, and at that time, the India-Pakistan relationship was better.
However, things changed, and it wasn’t in their hands. However, it is the producers of the films who have decided to release the film overseas, as it won’t be released in India. Diljit further stated that the producers, who have put in a lot of money, want to release the film overseas, and he supports them. He said:
“Jab yeh film bani thi tab situation sab theek tha. We shot this in Feb and then everything was fine. Uske baad, bhut saari badi cheezen humare haath mein nahi hai. Toh producers ne decide kiya ki film obviously ab India toh nahi lagegi, toh overseas release karte hain. Toh producers ka bahut paisa laga hua hai aur jab yeh film bann rahi thi tab aisa kuch tha nahi. They know there will be a loss because you’re removing an entire territory. Even when I signed the film, everything was fine. Now the situation is not in our hands. So if the producers want to release it abroad, I support them.”
