Following the horrific Pahalgam attack on April 22, 2025, Pakistani artists were banned from working with Indian artists, and several Pakistani celebs' social media accounts have been banned in India. Amid this, Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming film, Sardaar Ji 3, features Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, and for this reason, Diljit has been facing backlash. The singer-actor has now finally broken his silence on the controversy, welcoming more trolls online.
Diljit Dosanjh on Sardaar Ji 3 with Hania Aamir
Speaking to BBC Asian Network, Diljit Dosanjh shared that Sardaar Ji 3 was shot months before tensions between India and Pakistan. He stated that when this film was being made, the situation was fine as they shot it in February.
He added, "Uske baad, dekho bohot saari cheezein, badi cheezein humaare haath mein nahi hai. Toh yeh producers ne decide kiya ki yeh film obviously ab India toh nahi lagegi, toh isko overseas release karte hain. Toh obviously inka bohot paisa laga hua hai, aur jab yeh film ban rahi thi tab aisa kuchh tha nahi. Toh theek hai fir woh already loss, unn logo ke dimaag mein hai ki loss toh hoga hi 100%, kyunki ek territory aap usme minus kar rahe ho."
Diljit further added that when he had signed the film, everything was fine, but now the situation is not in their hands, so if they want to release it outside, then he supports them.
Netizens react to Diljit Dosanjh's comment
Diljit's comment once again was trolled by netizens online. Under a Reddit thread featuring a clip from his interview, one user said, “Can we actually cancel his citizenship? Are there any provisions for that? I would like him to not enter this country again please.”
Another wrote, “He is rich enough to afford some loss by not releasing the film, but he chose not to.” One furious user claimed, “Jo apne desh ka nhi hua woh kisi ka nhi hota, ese gadaar hamesha rahe hai India mein.”
Meanwhile, some netizens also supported Diljit's comment and said that if the film had been made after the attack, then it should have been stopped.
Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3 is scheduled for release overseas on June 27.
