Fans of Diljit Dosanjh were eagerly awaiting the release of his much-loved franchise film ‘Sardaar Ji 3’, but a major twist has left many disappointed. Despite high expectations, the film will reportedly not release in India, and the reason is creating a storm—the casting of Pakistani actors, including popular actress Hania Aamir.

Why the Film Won’t Release in India

• The inclusion of Hania Aamir and three other Pakistani actors—Sir Chinyoti, Daniya Khawar, and Salim Albela—has triggered controversy.

• The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has opposed the release, urging the CBFC not to grant a certificate.

• The film is being seen by some as "against national interest" due to the ongoing ban on Pakistani artists in Indian entertainment projects.

• Adding fuel to the fire, the film’s trailer is not even available on YouTube India, a move that further confirms its stalled release plans.

Will ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ Release in Pakistan?

• According to a report by Siyasat.com, the film has received clearance for release in Pakistan, although no official confirmation has come from the film’s team yet.

• If true, this would mark a rare case of a high-profile Indian Punjabi film bypassing its home market entirely to release abroad.

• The move suggests that Diljit and the makers are now targeting the overseas Punjabi audience, including Pakistan, Canada, UK, and Australia, where his popularity is massive.

Fans Feel Let Down

• What was expected to be a grand return of Diljit Dosanjh’s beloved franchise has now left Indian fans disappointed and angry.

• Social media reactions show mixed emotions—some are questioning Diljit’s silence over Hania Aamir’s involvement, while others are criticizing the entire production for compromising on national sentiment.

• Many fans are also concerned that entertainment is again being caught in political crossfire, sidelining art and storytelling.

What Happens Next?

• Until the filmmakers make an official statement, speculation will continue around the film’s exact release strategy.

• If ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ does release in Pakistan and overseas but completely skips India, it may set a new precedent—but also stir up a long debate about boundaries, bans, and the future of cross-border collaboration in cinema.
