TL;DR:Ā Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjhās latest film Sardaar Ji 3, featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, is set to release only overseasĀ on JuneāÆ27, due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan after the AprilāÆ22 Pahalgam terror attack and the subsequent Operation Sindoor. The film is now geo-blockedĀ in India and facing intense criticism from netizens, film bodies, and social media users urging boycotts and calling for Diljitās removal from future patriotic projects.

š Whatās the Deal?
On JuneāÆ22, Diljit shared the trailer on Instagram announcing:
āSardaar Ji 3 Releasing 27th June OVERSEAS Only. FADH LAO BHOOND DIAN LATTAN.ā
The YouTube trailer is geo-blocked in India, prompting a popāup: ānot made available in your countryā.
This follows FWICEās request on JuneāÆ11Ā to the CBFC to deny certificationĀ due to Pakistani talent in the cast.
š„ Why the Tension?
The April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, killing 26 Indian tourists, and Operation SindoorĀ have significantly escalated IndoāPak tensions.
As part of the backlash, several Pakistani artists and contentāincluding Hania Aamirāwere blocked or bannedĀ in India.
š„ Public Uproar & Fan Reactions
NetizensĀ slammed Diljit for casting Hania Aamir, calling him āopportunist,ā āshameless,āĀ and accusing him of betraying national sentiment.
Many demanded he be dropped from Border 2, a patriotic film with Varun Dhawan and Sunny Deol.
One Redditor wrote:
āHe is a major traitor for casting Hania Aamirā¦ā
Another on X posted:
āHania Aamirās hypocrisy and Diljit Dosanjhās betrayal⦠are a slap in the face to every proud Indian!ā
š„ What the Film Is Like
A horrorācomedy about ghostābustingĀ in a UK mansion featuring Diljit, NeeruāÆBajwa, and Hania Aamir as the ghostāhunter duo.
Fans had already seen sneak peaks via teasers and BTS images, building anticipationānow overshadowed by controversy.
š§ MediaFx Perspective (from peopleās viewpoint)
Itās natural for artists to want global collaboration, but when the blood of our people has been shed, and national pride is still raw, such choices appear tone-deaf. Diljit had massive love from the masses, but this move shows how private expression of unityĀ can clash with public outrage. The working-class feels that national unity should come before commercial or artistic ambitions.
Yet, the film also shines a light on cultural bridgesābut at what cost? Ultimately, people should come together and speak upānot to tar individuals, but to remind the powerful: art must respect the mood of the people.
