New Delhi: Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming horror comedy film ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ has been involved in a controversy after he dropped the official trailer of the film on Sunday, June 22, 2025. The trailer showcases a glimpse of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir alongside Diljit. This move has sparked outrage among netizens as they have started slamming Diljit for casting a Pakistani actress in his film.
It is worth noting that India banned Pakistani artists due to the ongoing tension between the two countries following the tragic Pahalgam terror attack that happened on April 22, 2025, which claimed the lives of 26 innocent people. It must be noted that, while sharing the official trailer of ‘Sardaar Ji 3’, the singer-actor Diljit mentioned that the film will not be released in India and will be released overseas on June 27, 2025. Social media users have expressed their views on the internet about Hania Aamir’s casting in the film.

In an interview with HT, the President of the Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association, Ashoke Pandit, said, “We had written a letter to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) earlier, and they refused to give it a certificate. I had seen Hania’s tweets as well during the time of Operation Sindoor. We are going to take action and tell the producers to not work with him (Diljit). He should be fully boycotted in the country by music labels and Punjabi film industry. Diljit is a compulsive Pakistani lover.”
