‘Dhajjiyan uda dunga': Suniel Shetty threatens to expose Bollywood folks running negative campaigns against son Ahan
Actor Suniel Shetty voiced his anger at those who've allegedly spread negativity about his son, Ahan, in the press. He said that he will expose each and every person responsible for these negative campaigns, and threatened to hold a press conference where he will reveal their names publicly. He said that Ahan has been accused of having a large entourage by individuals who are upset that he chose to do Border 2 instead of their film. He also said that Ahan was replaced in projects because of these negative reports. Ahan is working on Border 2, a sequel to the iconic original war movie, in which Suniel played a memorable role.
In an interview with Zoom Entertainment, he said that he has advised Ahan to treat Border 2 like his final film. He said that the movie will probably be rewatched for years and years on important occasions such as Independence Day and Republic Day, and that it's important for Ahan to put his best foot forward. Suniel also said that Ahan had numerous offers on the table, but chose to do Border 2 because of his love for the nation and the family's connection to the series.

He said, 'I told him that this movie will keep him alive (in the minds of the audience) for decades to come, like the first Border has kept me alive. Ahan let go of a lot of opportunities because of this film; he missed out on a lot because of the ego of others. He was thrown out of those films, and he was blamed for it in the press. They said that he has a 10-person entourage; people paid lots of money to get negative articles written about him. Do you think I don't have connections? Do you think I can't do the same thing?'
He continued, 'I still pay for my own food. I spend my own money to this day, not the producer's. And that's how Ahan has been raised. I've never spoken about this, but I'll say this now. All this negativity was orchestrated because Ahan wanted to do Border 2, and people wanted their films to take off and not Border 2. If this continues, I will hold a press conference and expose each and every person's name. Jiski dhajjiyan udani hain, uda dunga. That child's obsession is Border.'
Ahan made his acting debut with the film Tadap, which was released in 2021. The film was directed by Milan Luthria, and made over Rs 30 crore at the box office. Border 2 is his second movie, and it will release in 2026, five years after Tadap. Border 2 is headlined by Sunnny Deol, and also stars Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and others. Suniel Shetty will be seen in the film Kesari Veer on Friday.

Diljit Dosanjh's Bollywood Movies In Trouble? Film Body To Boycott Actor Over Hania Aamir Row
Diljit Dosanjh has sparked controversy over his upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3, which features several Pakistani actors including Hania Aamir, Nasir Chinyoti and others. Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh is facing massive backlash over his upcoming film, Sardaar Ji 3. The film features popular Pakistani actor Hania Aamir (as well as Nasir Chinyoti, Daniel Khawar and Saleem Albela), whose casting has stirred backlash in light of the recent Pahalgam terror attack. Amidst this, BN Tiwari, President of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), has slammed Diljit for working with Hania, and demanded a complete ban on all his future projects. FWICE President condemned the collaboration, stating that he has hurt Indian sentiments. While speaking with Hindustan Times, he said, 'By working with a Pakistani actor, Diljit has hurt Indian sentiments. He has disrespected the sentiments of the nation and insulted the sacrifice of our brave soldiers. His preference for Pakistani talent over Indian artists raises serious questions about his loyalty and priorities. By collaborating with a Pakistani actor, Diljit has hurt Indian sentiments, disrespected the nation, and insulted the sacrifices of our brave soldiers," he said. FWICE President Calls For Strict Ban On Diljit Dosanjh's Upcoming Films He further added that while the film isn't releasing in India for now, any future plans to do so will be met with a ban. Currently, Sardaar Ji 3 is only releasing overseas. FWICE President added that Diljit working with a Pakistani actor is unacceptable, and that they are imposing a strict ban on all future films, songs, and projects involving him. 'We have called for a strict ban on all upcoming films, songs or any other sort of 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 films," he said. BN Tiwari mentioned that they had previously reached out to the filmmakers for clarification but received no response. He stated that they had sent a letter but didn't get an answer, so they would proceed with the ban. Diljit Dosanjh's Upcoming Films Border 2, Panjab 95 In Trouble? While Sardaar Ji 3 is set for an overseas release on June 27 and is unlikely to hit Indian screens, the ripple effect could be significant. Diljit's upcoming patriotic action drama Border 2, could potentially face a FWICE-imposed boycott if the controversy continues. Another project starring Diljit, 'Panjab 95' – a biopic on human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra – has already faced multiple delays and CBFC hurdles, and may now encounter further challenges amid the growing backlash. On Sunday, Diljit released the film's trailer, which unveiled Hania's presence in the film. In the movie, Hania joins Diljit's character as a ghost hunter in the UK, with Neeru Bajwa also playing a romantic interest in this horror comedy. First Published:

People don't want to believe in reality, but create their own version of reality and want it to be that way. It should not be. We don't have that kind of unity where we stick around and say this is wrong."advertisementSunny criticised the trend of bulk-buying tickets and showing fake box office numbers, and questioned how honest such practices really are. 'People who are enjoying the lies (of exaggerated box office numbers), I don't understand what kind of people they are.
