Diljit Dosanjh To Get Banned? Actor Faces Backlash Over Hania Aamir's Casting In Sardaarji 3
New Delhi: The trailer launch of Sardaarji 3 has stirred controversy among fans of Diljit Dosanjh after it featured Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in a prominent role. Earlier reports had suggested that Aamir had been dropped from the Punjabi blockbuster franchise, but the newly released trailer indicates otherwise. The decision to retain Hania Aamir in the film has sparked outrage among sections of the public and members of the Indian film industry. Some have even labeled the move as 'anti-national.' As of now, the trailer is reportedly unavailable for viewing in India, and the film is not expected to be released in the country. The controversy comes in the wake of the brutal Pahalgam attack. According to a report by Hindustan Times, the President of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), B.N. Tiwari, has strongly criticized Diljit Dosanjh for collaborating with a Pakistani actor and has called for a complete ban on his future projects. 'By collaborating with a Pakistani actor, Diljit has hurt Indian sentiments, disrespected the nation, and insulted the sacrifices of our brave soldiers,' Tiwari told Hindustan Times. Objecting to the film's release in India, he further emphasised: 'Diljit working with a Pakistani actor is something we are not ready to overlook.' He added: 'We have heard that the film is not being released in India. But if they plan to release it, we will ban it. For now, they are releasing it overseas only. That being said, Diljit working with a Pakistani actor is something we are not ready to overlook. We have called for a strict ban on all his upcoming films, songs, or any other projects. We will also issue a formal letter on the same today. Along with Diljit, we have also called for a ban on the producers of the film regarding all their upcoming projects.' Ashoke Pandit, President of the Indian Film and Television Directors' Association, stated: 'We had written a letter to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) earlier, and they refused to grant the film a certificate. I have seen Hania's tweets during Operation Sindoor as well. We will take action and ask producers not to work with him [Diljit]. He should be completely boycotted by music labels and the Punjabi film industry. Diljit is a compulsive Pakistani lover.' About Sardaarji 3 In the Punjabi film, Diljit plays the role of a ghost hunter tasked with removing a spirit from a mansion in the United Kingdom. Following the Pahalgam terror attack, several film federations called for a complete ban on Pakistani artistes working in India. Additionally, Instagram accounts of Pakistani celebrities such as Hania Aamir, Ali Zafar, and Mahira Khan were restricted in India. In the horror-comedy, both Hania Aamir and Neeru Bajwa are seen romancing Diljit. Sharing the trailer on Instagram, Diljit captioned it: "Sardaar Ji 3 Releasing 27th June OVERSEAS Only. FADH LAO BHOOND DIAN LATTAN.' The film also stars Manav Vij, Gulshan Grover, Jasmin Bajwa, Sapna Pabbi, and others in prominent roles. It is directed by Amar Hundal.
