Diljit Dosanjh’s latest film, Sardaar Ji 3, has made waves not just for its box office performance but also for the controversy surrounding its cast. The film features Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, which has stirred outrage in India amidst ongoing tensions between the two nations. Despite this, the film has achieved remarkable success, grossing ₹11.03 crore in just two days overseas.
Diljit defended the casting choice, asserting that the filming took place before the recent political tensions escalated, particularly following the Pahalgam terror attacks. The decision to skip the Indian release reflects the complex dynamics at play. The film’s performance abroad highlights the potential for Punjabi cinema to resonate globally, regardless of local controversies.
