Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has been involved in a major controversy due to his latest film Sardaar Ji 3. The movie has been facing the wrath of netizens and film associations since it stars Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. The backlash comes in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attacks of April 2025 and Operation Sindoor. Despite all the setbacks, the Punjabi horror comedy was released internationally on June 27, 2025. Although it skipped a release in India, the movie managed to draw huge crowds to theatres. Sardaar Ji 3 is receiving a phenomenal response in Pakistan, where it is breaking box office records. ‘Sardaar Ji 3’: Guru Randhawa Goes Off Twitter/X After Backlash Over Diljit Dosanjh Dig on Casting Pakistani Actress Hania Aamir - Know What Happened.
