Diljit Dosanjh Faces Backlash Over Hania Aamir's Role in Sardaarji 3; Ban Demands Intensify

The highly anticipated trailer for Sardaarji 3, starring Diljit Dosanjh, has triggered a storm of controversy online and in the film industry after prominently featuring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in a leading role. Earlier speculation had suggested Hania would be dropped due to rising India-Pakistan tensions—but the trailer confirms her involvement.

🔥 Public and Industry Outrage

Many social media users and several prominent figures in Indian cinema have criticized the decision to retain Hania Aamir, calling the move “anti-national.” The backlash follows heightened tensions after the recent Pahalgam terror attack, which has intensified scrutiny of any Indo-Pak cultural collaborations.

🚫 Trailer Unavailable in India, Ban Demands Grow

Reports suggest the Sardaarji 3 trailer is currently unavailable for viewing in India, and the movie may not see a theatrical release in the country. Calls for a complete ban on Diljit Dosanjh’s future projects have emerged.

📣 FWICE & Industry Leaders Respond

In a sharp statement, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) condemned Diljit for working with a Pakistani artist. FWICE leadership has urged the film fraternity to boycott his upcoming films and collaborations.

Ashoke Pandit, President of the Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association, stated:

“We had already written to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which denied certification to the film. I've seen Hania Aamir's tweets during Operation Sindoor—they were provocative. We will take further action and pressure producers and music labels to avoid working with Diljit. He is a compulsive Pakistani supporter.”

🔍 What Lies Ahead for Sardaarji 3?

With growing protests and industry-level resistance, the fate of Sardaarji 3 in Indian cinemas remains uncertain. Fans are divided, while national sentiment and politics appear to have taken center stage in this ongoing film controversy.
