​FWICE slams ‘Border 2' makers for casting Diljit Dosanjh, against their official boycott order

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has strongly opposed actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh being cast in the upcoming film 'Border 2' and Imtiaz Ali's untitled project. They claim that casting him goes against their official boycott order. In the strongly worded letters dated June 24 and 25, FWICE wrote to T-Series Chairman Bhushan Kumar , director Imtiaz Ali, and actor-producer Sunny Deol . They urged them to rethink working with Diljit Dosanjh. The federation raised concerns about Dosanjh's collaboration with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in 'Sardaar Ji 3', calling it a clear violation of national sentiment and unity within the film industry. In its letter to Bhushan Kumar, FWICE shared its 'deep disappointment' over casting Dosanjh in 'Border 2'. 'Such casting decisions are a disservice to the sacrifices made by our armed forces,' the letter read, adding that the collaboration "directly undermines the stand taken by the Indian film industry in solidarity with the nation." FWICE reiterates ban on Pakistani collaborations FWICE reminded the production house of its 2019 directive that bans any collaboration with Pakistani artists, a rule introduced after the Pulwama terror attack. The federation emphasized that this ban is still in place, especially in light of the recent Pahalgam terror attack , which tragically took the lives of several civilians, including children. In a separate letter to director Imtiaz Ali, FWICE acknowledged his valuable contributions to Indian cinema but urged him to reconsider his reported plans to cast Diljit Dosanjh in an upcoming film scheduled for release in April 2026. 'Collaborating with someone who openly disregards national sentiment by engaging with banned Pakistani artists is deeply disappointing,' penned on the letter. FWICE Appeals to Sunny Deol, Citing His Patriotic Legacy In its letter to actor Sunny Deol, who is closely associated with Border 2, FWICE requested his intervention in the matter. Referring to his strong image built through patriotic films like 'Border' and 'Gadar', 'We are confident that the values you have always upheld, both on screen and off, will guide you to take a stand in line with the nation's sentiments,' the letter stated. Urges Industry to Take Action The controversy started after Diljit Dosanjh cast Pakistani actor Hania Aamir—who has made anti-India comments online—in 'Sardaar Ji 3'. FWICE called this a serious insult to national feelings and said it shows a lack of respect for the country. The federation made it clear that its boycott of Dosanjh is still active. It warned that anyone working with him would be going against the unity of the film industry and the nation. FWICE ended its letters by asking everyone involved to act responsibly and take the right steps. As of now, Diljit Dosanjh and the filmmakers have not responded to these objections.

Mira Nair's son nominated for NYC Mayor post

New York: Indian-origin politician Zohran Mamdani has clinched the Democratic Party's nomination to become the next Mayor of New York City. The 33-year-old state representative, son of noted filmmaker Mira Nair, mounted an aggressive grassroots campaign to defeat former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Zohran won NYC's Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday night after Andrew Cuomo conceded the race in a stunning upset, as the young, progressive upstart built a substantial lead over the more experienced but scandal-scarred former Governor. Though the race's ultimate outcome will still be decided by a ranked choice count, Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist who was virtually unknown outside of political circles a year ago, was in a commanding position. Mamdani would be the city's first Muslim and Indian-American mayor, if elected. Zohran may not have followed in his mother's footsteps by becoming a filmmaker. But he's always had an eye for talent and an ear for a good story. Back when Mira was planning to adapt Jhumpa Lahiri's book The Namesake into a film, she faced a dilemma. She was also offered to helm the fourth instalment of the popular Harry Potter film franchise, Harry Potter and the G0blet Of Fire. Since Zohran was a huge Potterhead and would love reading the books by JK Rowling, Mira was conflicted whether she should trade the film adaptation she wanted to do for the one her son would've liked her to. So she asked her teenage son for an advice. 'Mama, any good director can make Harry Potter but only you can make The Namesake,' he said.

'Diljit Dosanjh Must Apologise, Remove Hania Aamir Scenes From Film': Mika Singh

Last Updated: Previously too, Mika Singh shared another note and lashed out at Diljit Dosanjh for working with a Pakistani star. He called him a "fake singer" and condemned his actions. Mika Singh has urged Diljit Dosanjh to apologise amid the controversy regarding the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his upcoming movie, Sardaar Ji 3. Recently, Mika took to her Instagram stories and penned down a small note. He stated that they are ready to forgive Diljit if he apologises and removes all 'objectionable" scenes from his movie. 'Guys, I understand we all make mistakes in life. But when we do, there's one simple word that holds power: Sorry. If Diljit made a mistake, we are all willing to forgive. But he must apologise and remove all the objectionable scenes from the movie. That's it. No hate. Just respect. Desh pehle (Nation first)," he wrote. This comes a day after Mika Singh shared another note and lashed out at Diljit for working with a Pakistani star. He called him a 'fake singer" and condemned his actions. 'Guys, as we all know, the relationship between India and Pakistan isn't going well right now. Yet some people continue to act irresponsibly. Before releasing any content that involves artists from across the border, they should think twice — especially when our nation's dignity is involved. There was a film featuring Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor that many of us opposed, and yet, some still don't seem to get the message. What's more shocking is that a fake singer, after doing 10 shows in India with thousands of fans buying tickets, has now disappeared — leaving fans betrayed and helpless," he wrote. Meanwhile, Diljit Dosanjh also broke his silence recently on the controversy and BBC Asian Network that the project was completed before any of the current political tensions surfaced. 'Jab yeh film bani thi tab situation sab theek tha. We shot this in Feb and then everything was fine. Uske baad, bhut saari badi cheezen humare haath mein nahi hai. Toh producers ne decide kiya ki film obviously ab India toh nahi lagegi, toh overseas release karte hain. Toh producers ka bahut paisa laga hua hai aur jab yeh film bann rahi thi tab aisa kuch tha nahi," he said, adding that the makers are aware they will incur losses. 'Now the situation is not in our hands. So if the producers want to release it abroad, I support them." Sardaar Ji 3, directed by Amar Hundal, is set for an overseas release on June 27. However, it will not be released in Indian theatres. First Published:
