Sardaar Ji 3 to Skip India Release: Here's Why Diljit Dosanjh’s Film Won’t Hit Local Screens

The film "Sardaar Ji 3," starring Punjabi actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh, will not be released in India due to its casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, amidst ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan

The decision to skip the Indian release comes after Pakistani stars were banned following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which led to significant opposition to the film's release in India

"Sardaar Ji 3" will premiere exclusively in foreign markets, with its release scheduled for June 27 The decision appears to be a strategic move to avoid potential protests and political backlash in India.

The film's trailer, released on June 22, has received criticism from some social media users who expressed disappointment over Diljit Dosanjh working with Pakistani co-stars

The cast of "Sardaar Ji 3" also includes Pakistani actors Daniel Khawar, Nasir Chinioti, and Salim Albela, alongside Punjabi superstar Neeru Bajwa

The storyline revolves around a team that encounters a spirit in a haunted UK castle, prompting them to seek help from Diljit Dosanjh's character

The film is directed by Amar Hundal and features a unique release strategy, likely as a precautionary measure to avoid delays and controversies
