After Diljit Dosanjh shared the release date of his upcoming film Sardaar Ji 3 starring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, BN Tiwari, President of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), reacted strongly to the release of the film's trailer and called for a complete ban on the singer-actor's future projects. He told Hindustan Times, "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 artistes raises serious questions about his loyalty and priorities. We have called a strict ban on all upcoming films, songs or any other sort of projects." ‘Detective Sherdil’ Movie Review: Diljit Dosanjh’s Smug Sleuth Kills the Intrigue Out of This Murder-Mystery (LatestLY Exclusive).
