Diljit Dosanjh is no stranger to trending headlines, but this time, it’s more than just his music or swag that’s making noise. With Sardaar Ji 3 skipping an India release thanks to sky-high India-Pakistan tensions, all eyes are on the turbanator who dared to cast Pakistani actress Hania Aamir—and now he’s finally breaking his silence, and oh boy, he’s not mincing words.
Diljit Dosanjh opens up about the on going controversy on casting pakistani actors
Diljit dropped the trailer for Sardaar Ji 3, and instead of just fanfare, he got a full-blown backlash. Why? Because Pakistani actress Hania Aamir showed up in the frame—and that didn’t sit well with desi netizens, especially post the tragic Pahalgam terror attack. Result? The film is now waving a big fat “no entry” sign for Indian theatres and will release only overseas.
“Bohut Paisa Laga Hai!” – Diljit Gets Real
Speaking to BBC Asian Network, Diljit got candid about the drama. He reminded everyone that when the movie was shot, everything between the neighbouring countries was relatively chill. “It was February, vibes were fine, cameras were rolling,” he explained. But then the world turned upside down. “Now everything’s out of our hands,” he added, noting that the producers had no choice but to release it internationally because hello, massive budget alert!
When Desi Film Goes Global
Diljit made it clear—this wasn’t some sneaky maneuver. “We shot it when things were cool. But now that India’s off the table, it’s either go global or go broke,” he said. Honestly, the man’s just trying to make sure everyone involved gets their due. “The producers know they’ll take a hit, but it’s better than shelving the whole thing,” he added. Makes sense, no?
On Working With Hania Aamir: “To The Point, Always”
What about his chemistry with Hania Aamir? “Very good,” he said with his signature cool. He praised her professionalism and maintained that their working relationship was strictly about the work. “I respect her privacy, she respects mine. We don’t do extra drama. To the point hi baat hoti hai,” he added. And that’s Diljit for you—lowkey classy.
FWICE Not Having It
Meanwhile, back on home turf, FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees) isn’t keeping quiet. They’ve asked CBFC to deny certification to Sardaar Ji 3, slamming the cast for including Pakistani artists. Names like Nasir Chinyoti, Daniel Khawar, and Saleem Albela have them riled up.
Final Thoughts? The Beat Drops, But The Ban Stays
Whether or not Sardaar Ji 3 makes its way to Indian screens eventually, one thing’s for sure—Diljit Dosanjh isn’t backing down. He’s standing by the project, his producers, and his choices. And love him or troll him, the man knows how to stay true to his art—even when the world’s watching with a magnifying glass.
So for now, Sardaar Ji 3 is taking its dhol beats international. And Diljit? He’s already dancing past the drama.
