Diljit Dosanjh starrer Sardaar Ji 3 is ruffling feathers, though it’s dropping globally, India is keeping it out of cinemas. Why? Featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir at a time when national sentiment is high, the film has stirred up an unexpected storm.
Diljit Dosanjh Drops a Subtle Clapback
Amid the controversy, Diljit served up a cryptic Instagram story reading “Censored before Release.” Could this be a cheeky nod to past censorship woes with his film Punjab 95? Fans are reading between the lines like it’s the morning headlines.
Thanks to heightened tensions after the Pahalgam attack, Bollywood has officially hit pause on Pakistani talents. Despite missing India’s release schedule, Sardaar Ji 3 is facing a chorus of condemnation for its cross-border casting.
Punjab 95: A Story Too Bold for Bollywood?
For the uninitiated, Punjab 95 is not just another political drama, it’s based on Jaswant Singh Khalra, the man who risked his life to uncover the truth about human rights violations during the Punjab insurgency. He disappeared, never to be seen again. The film is a gut-punch, and perhaps that’s why it’s still waiting in the wings.
FWICE Speaks Out Loud
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) didn’t mince words. President BN Tiwari slammed Diljit’s move, calling the film a betrayal of national feelings and a slap to patriotic pride. Talks of bans on Diljit’s future projects are already floating around.
So far, Diljit’s kept things quiet, no press conferences, no fiery Instagram rants.

Will Diljit step up with a public explanation? Will Indian theatres ever screen Sardaar Ji 3? Or will this controversy become a full-blown career crossroads? We’re all eyes and ears, stay tuned for when this blockbuster drama plays out in real life!
