SardaarJi 3 Controversy: FWICE Urges PM Modi to Cancel Passports of Diljit & Makers

The upcoming film 'Sardaar Ji 3' starring Diljit Dosanjh has sparked controversy due to the involvement of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, resulting in significant backlash and calls for a boycott

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has expressed strong disapproval and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to cancel the passports and Indian citizenship of Diljit Dosanjh and the film's team

FWICE has made direct appeals for action to several government officials, including Home Minister Amit Shah and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, emphasizing that hiring Hania Aamir defies Indian laws and insults the nation’s dignity

The organization has criticized the film's creators, stating that the decision to cast a Pakistani actress is not just a creative choice, but a deliberate affront to India's sovereignty and security

'Sardaar Ji 3' also features other Pakistani actors like Daniel Khawar, Nasir Chinioti, and Salim Albela, alongside Punjabi superstar Neeru Bajwa

The storyline of the film involves a team encountering a supernatural entity in a haunted castle in the UK, where Diljit's character is called upon for assistance

Directed by Amar Hundal, 'Sardaar Ji 3' is set to release only in foreign countries on June 27

The controversy highlights ongoing tensions and sensitivities surrounding cross-border artistic collaborations between India and Pakistan
