Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming movie, Sardaar Ji 3, is set to release on June 27, but it will not be showing in India. Due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan, following the Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent military actions, the film will be released overseas only. This decision has sparked major controversy, particularly due to the film’s casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir.
The casting of Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3 has become a major point of contention. Critics argue that casting a Pakistani actress at this tense moment is insensitive, given the ongoing diplomatic situation between India and Pakistan. Fans on social media have lashed out at Diljit Dosanjh, accusing him of being disloyal to his homeland.
On platforms like Twitter and Reddit, many users have accused Diljit of prioritizing profit over national sentiment, with some calling for a boycott of the movie. The anger has intensified following the Pahalgam attack, where Indian soldiers lost their lives in a terror attack attributed to Pakistani militants.
“How can Diljit cast a Pakistani actress when the entire country is grieving?” A common sentiment shared by fans online.
As the Sardaar Ji 3 trailer hit social media, Diljit Dosanjh was flooded with trolling and backlash, mainly due to his decision to cast Hania Aamir. Some critics have even gone as far as calling Diljit an “opportunist” and a “traitor” for working with a Pakistani actress amidst growing national tensions.
The geo-blocking of the trailer in India has only fueled the controversy. While the film will be released overseas, it seems that Indian fans feel betrayed by Diljit’s casting choice. Hashtags like #BoycottSardaarJi3 have gained traction on social media as more people express their displeasure.
Despite the ongoing trolling, some content from Sardaar Ji 3 remains available. The teaser and songs, including “Sohni Lagdi”, featuring both Diljit and Hania Aamir, are still being streamed globally. However, it is unclear how the ongoing controversy will impact the film’s reception abroad.

For now, Diljit Dosanjh’s decision to go ahead with a Pakistani actress amidst national outrage has certainly sparked a heated debate.
