The Punjabi industry has been recently dealing with a controversy that revolves around the newly released film “Sardaar Ji 3,” which features Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh and Pakistani actor Hania Aamir.
The film has received mixed reactions from people across the nation, and recently, amid the criticism, Sufi singer and BJP ex-MP Hans Raj has come forward to share his support towards Diljit Dosanjh during a press conference, which was held at his residence.
The renowned Sufi singer has expressed his strong support towards Dosanjh and the people involved with the production of the film. He addressed the filmmakers and mentioned, “When Sardaar Ji-3 was shot, no one could foresee the current India-Pakistan tensions. Protesting against Diljit now is unjustified. Pakistan's Government is at Fault, Not Its People.”
He also highlighted that the film producers are “humble and decent individuals.” He furthermore took a moment to praise the citizens of Pakistan and stated that the issue lies with the Pakistani government.
He could be quoted saying, “I've been to Pakistan. I've met many citizens there who never wanted India and Pakistan to be divided. We have shared art, culture, and emotions. People on both sides are the same,” adding, “Wherever there is war, it's always the innocent who suffer. Some politicians take nations to the brink of conflict for political gains. We should pray for peace between both countries to prevent such human losses.”
Clarity given by Sardaar Ji filmmakers
According to the reports, the producers of Sardaar Ji Gunbir Singh Sindhu stated that the film was shot before tensions escalated between India and Pakistan. He then mentioned, “Respecting Indian sentiments, the film will not be released in India. It will only be released overseas.”
Along with this, Diljit Dosanjh himself outlined that the film will not be released in India but only in North America, the UK, Canada, and the Middle East on June 27, 2025.
