Following widespread backlash over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3, producer Gunbir Singh Sidhu has broken his silence. In a statement to India Today, Sidhu clarified the timeline of production and confirmed that the film will not see a theatrical release in India.
Sardaar Ji 3 faces heat over Pakistani actress Hania Aamir’s casting: Producer of Diljit Dosanjh starrer BREAKS SILENCE; says, “Shot before the Indo-Pak conflict”
“The film was shot before the conflict with Pakistan. Keeping sentiments of Indians in mind, there will be no India release for the movie,” Sidhu said, referring to the rising tensions following the recent Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir, which claimed the lives of Indian soldiers and civilians.
The announcement comes after mounting criticism on social media and news platforms, where users questioned the inclusion of a Pakistani actor in an Indian production during a sensitive time. Hania Aamir, a popular name in Pakistan’s entertainment industry, made a brief appearance in the trailer of Sardaar Ji 3 alongside lead star Diljit Dosanjh. Her presence sparked debates about cultural collaboration in times of geopolitical strain.
As of now, Sardaar Ji 3 is expected to release in international markets, excluding India. Both the production house and Diljit Dosanjh have yet to issue any further statements on the matter.
