The upcoming film 'Sardaar Ji 3', starring Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa, has generated significant buzz, primarily due to the reported Pollywood debut of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. While initially unconfirmed, the trailer release has verified Aamir's involvement as one of the film's leading ladies.

However, this casting decision has ignited controversy, particularly in light of recent tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack. As a result, the film's release will be limited to overseas markets.

Diljit Dosanjh announced the overseas release date on social media, stating, "Sardaar Ji 3 Releasing 27th June OVERSEAS Only."

The studio echoed this sentiment, clarifying, "We’re excited to announce that Sardaar Ji 3 will be releasing overseas on 27th June! However, the India release will be held back for now. We truly appreciate your love and patience, and we’ll be sharing the India release date very soon. Stay tuned for updates. We can’t wait for you all to experience the film on the big screen!"

Netizen Reactions

The inclusion of Hania Aamir has sparked considerable debate online.

On Reddit, user reactions range from disappointment to outright disapproval. One user simply posted "Guts" alongside the trailer.

Comments included sentiments such as:

• "Never spoke a word during the war…now we know why…I liked him, but the opinion is now changing highly."
• "Honestly, I don't think Diljit holds any affinity and love towards India, so I really don't expect him to be pro-India, but I hope now at least the border makers will remove him from a film based on the life of our army."
• "You can’t expect anything better from Diljit. He has always been very clear about his ideologies."
• “Never liked him, never will. Disgusted by him."

However, some defended the filmmakers, suggesting that recasting at this stage would be impractical.

• “Well they weren't gonna cut someone out who had clearly such a big part,”
• “I promise u as a Punjabi a lot of people do not support this but also the producers already spent money and shot this film, they are gonna try to recover their money as much as they can,”
