Bollywood and Punjabi music fans are shook! What was supposed to be a grand trailer drop for Sardaar Ji 3 has now turned into a full-blown deshbhakti vs. stardom war. And in the middle of it all? Diljit Dosanjh, the turban-wearing heartthrob, now facing fire for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his new film.
It all began when the Sardaar Ji 3 trailer dropped, and fans noticed Hania, yes, the same Hania Aamir from across the border, sharing screen space with Diljit. Cue instant outrage, especially since this comes just weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. Emotions are high, and netizens aren’t having it.
But it wasn’t just the fans. B Praak, without naming names, took to Instagram and dropped a truth bomb:
“Kayi artist apna zameer bhi bech chuke ne… fitte muh tuhade.”
Translation? “Some artists have even sold their conscience. Shame on you.”
Then came Mika Singh, throwing serious shade. Calling Diljit a “fake singer,” he fumed:
“You did shows in India, took the money, and now you’re casting Pakistani artists when the nation is hurting? Desh pehle aata hai!”
Things were heating up like a masala movie climax. Industry bodies like FWICE and AICWA joined the drama, asking the censor board to block the film in India. They demanded a boycott and even a public apology.
But hold up! Diljit didn’t stay silent. He hit back calmly, saying:
“The film was shot long before the attack. We’ve only released it overseas now. We cancelled India screenings out of respect.”
Enter his ex-manager, Vaibhav Sharma, who jumped in with full support:
“Diljit has always represented India with pride. He’s an ambassador of our culture. Trolling him like this is just unfair.”
So, what now? Sardaar Ji 3 releases overseas on June 27, but Indian screens will stay dark. As the industry splits, fans are left wondering, was Diljit just doing his job, or did he really cross a line?
Whatever side you’re on, one thing’s clear: Bollywood just got another spicy controversy, and this one’s got music, drama, and deshbhakti all rolled into one blockbuster plotline!
