TL;DR: Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh’s latest film Sardaar Ji 3, featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, is set to release only overseas on June 27, due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack and the subsequent Operation Sindoor. The film is now geo-blocked in India and facing intense criticism from netizens, film bodies, and social media users urging boycotts and calling for Diljit’s removal from future patriotic projects.
🎉 What’s the Deal?
On June 22, Diljit shared the trailer on Instagram announcing:
“Sardaar Ji 3 Releasing 27th June OVERSEAS Only. FADH LAO BHOOND DIAN LATTAN.”
The YouTube trailer is geo-blocked in India, prompting a pop‑up: “not made available in your country”.
This follows FWICE’s request on June 11 to the CBFC to deny certification due to Pakistani talent in the cast.
💥 Why the Tension?
The April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, killing 26 Indian tourists, and Operation Sindoor have significantly escalated Indo‑Pak tensions.
As part of the backlash, several Pakistani artists and content—including Hania Aamir—were blocked or banned in India.
👥 Public Uproar & Fan Reactions
Netizens slammed Diljit for casting Hania Aamir, calling him “opportunist,” “shameless,” 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:
“He is a major traitor for casting Hania Aamir…”
Another on X posted:
“Hania Aamir’s hypocrisy and Diljit Dosanjh’s betrayal… are a slap in the face to every proud Indian!”
🎥 What the Film Is Like
A horror‑comedy about ghost‑busting in a UK mansion featuring Diljit, Neeru Bajwa, and Hania Aamir as the ghost‑hunter duo.
Fans had already seen sneak peaks via teasers and BTS images, building anticipation—now overshadowed by controversy.
🧭 MediaFx Perspective (from people’s viewpoint)
It’s 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 unity 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 bridges—but at what cost? Ultimately, people should come together and speak up—not to tar individuals, but to remind the powerful: art must respect the mood of the people.
