Actor Ajay Devgn reacted to people criticising Diljit Dosanjh for working with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in ‘Sardaar Ji 3’. The actor was present at the trailer launch of his latest film ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ when he answered a journalist’s question about the trolling that Dosanjh has been facing for the overseas release of his film featuring a Pakistani actor. He said it wouldn’t be appropriate on his part to take a side in the matter since he is not in Dosanjh’s shoes.
Devgn said in Hindi, “Dekhiye I don’t know where the trolling comes from. Kya sahi hai, kya galat hai (I can’t decide what is right and wrong) – I am not in his shoes to comment on that.”
He continued, “Uski apni problems hogi. Baaki jo log keh rahe hain vo apne point of view se soch rahe hain. Toh jab do alag point of views hote hain, toh vo baith ke solve kiya ja sakte hain. Vo apne hisaab se soch rahe hain, aap apne hisaab se soch rahe hain. Aisa nahi hota hai (He must be dealing with his own problems. Those who are criticising him are thinking from their perspective. Two clashing perspectives can only be sorted out with a sit-down conversation. Both parties are applying their own logic. This is not how things are done).”
The actor concluded, “I will not blame anybody. I will not say ki ismein se koi galat hai ya sahi hai (I will not decide who’s right and who’s wrong here). They need a conversation.”
Dosanjh earlier said he had no control over the release of ‘Sardaar Ji 3’, and that the film was shot before the ghastly Pahalgam terror attack which led to the ban of Pakistani artistes in the country. Following the release of his film, several film bodies in India called for a ban of the actor and others associated with ‘Sardaar Ji 3’.
A section of the audience and celebrities continued to support Dosanjh, reiterating his own stand on the issue: that it was not his decision.
Meanwhile, Devgn’s ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ is slated to hit the screens on July 25. The film is directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, and also features Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Mrunal Thakur, Neeru Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, Vindu Dara Singh, Roshni Walia, Sharat Saxena, Sahil Mehta and the late Mukul Dev in important roles.
